What Causes Involuntary Head Movement In Baby?
Hi doctor, a couple times a day my 9 month old daughter seems to have a head twitch where there will be a repeated involuntary motion of turning her head back and forth slightly. She is extremely healthy, happy and not on any medications. Is this just due to an immature nervous system?

Hi,
No please, this does not look like an immature nervous system. If she had been developmentally normal till now, then we should consider this only as a repetitive behavioral pattern. I suggest you get her evaluated by your pediatrician for her developmental pattern and if every thing is normal, it will settle spontaneously.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth
