Q: Infant Holding Head to One Side

asked by: biff on January 28th, 2004

My five month old daughter holds her head to one side or the other. She will hold it to the left side for a few days or so and then switch it to the right side. Do you think there could be some medical problem or has it just become habit?

I think shes just working out her muscles if she cant hold it straight up even for a breif moment, then I would ask my doctor.
