Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Babies are fragile, so be gentle and supportive. A baby’s head is big and heavy compared to the rest of its body. Their head flops when it’s not supported – that’s because their neck muscles aren’t strong enough to hold it up yet. Shaking makes the head move backwards and forwards very quickly, with a lot of force.
Detailed explanation-2: -Infant torticollis happens when the muscles that connect the breastbone and collarbone to the skull (sternocleidomastoid muscle) are shortened. Because your baby’s neck muscle is shortened on one side of the neck, it pulls their head into a tilt or rotation, and often both.
