What Could Cause Throwing Of Head Back In A 6 Months Child?

Hi my 6 month old started throwing her head back and forth for no reason. She does it when she is happy and she does it when she is upset but she always looks up then slams her head back down forward is this something i should be concerned about? She also rubs her nose a lot pretty much constantly.

Mostly 6 month old baby may fall harad back and forth in excitement and upset . but if she not hold head satnd straight after that then u have to worry and
Show ur paediatrician and ask for it

First u have not given birth history of ur baby and other thing when ur baby hold neck straight.
If neck holding was delay then it was normal

But u show ur paediatrician asap for that if u have confused
I find this answer helpful
