Head Bobbing- Respiratory Distress in infants

I am sharing this because my son went into respitory distress (6 weeks old) and we had no idea what he was doing with his head. Coming to find out, this is sometimes called "Head Bobbing" and is caused because of the retraction in his lungs, causing his head to lunge forward since his muscles are not strong enough. Once you see this, you will know what is going on with your baby and I wanted to share so that you all don't have to go through what we went through. This is after he had been rushed to the hospital taken the next day.
