Not long ago, my daughter started doing this head shake, from left to right as if she was saying "No, no". She does it mostly after food intake, but sometimes shortly after and there are times where she would do it randomly during the day.
At first I got scared, did not know what to think of it, but now it seems that its totally reflux related. She is also cutting her first tooth and I was wondering if may be her reflux had flared up as a result of teething and this is a new coping mechanism (?)Will it go away on it's own?

Thank you.

Hi,

There is no relation to teething and reflux that I know. I suspect that this is related to the teething. Reflux is a possibility, but I would guess more of a learned behavior.

Sorry I can't be of more help, Dr. Olson
