Why is my 6 month old moving his head from side to side of his high chair edges?should i be worried?

See below: Most likely not to worry. Repetitive movement behavior in infants is common. Watch this, protect his head and talk to pediatrician during his well check up.

Head: He may be teething and is trying to get comfortable. Try giving him a frozen bagel half to munch on or some other cold object to relieve his pain.
