Question : Dear Sir,
My baby boy is one year old. When he is passing urine his head is like shaking a bit. This has been happening from the birth. So we can notice when ever he is passing urine.
Will this be a problem for him in the future? or is this a abnormality ?

Thank you.

Hello, thanks for writing to us.

Went through your query in detail.

If your child has grown well and attained correct mile stones for his age , and if the head nodding is not present all the time, i don't think so there is any thing abnormal.

But for the confirmation sake , kindly confirm with your regular pediatrician, as without seeing the child it is hard to comment anything.

Thank you , hope i have cleared your doubts.
