Baby hitting his own head

My almost 15 month old boy does it to he like slaps his head I feel like pretty hard I been taking his hand and making it rub his head saying soft hasn’t helped yet he’s been doing it a couple weeks now not sure why

Same! I try not to react, instead rub his head and say “be gentle” but it’s not really helping. We are scheduled for 15mo check-up soon so I will ask my pediatrician and update here!

My LO(now 2) did this for a bit. Our ped said it was normal and to try and put something soft down(like a jacket) if they are on a hard surface

My son did this. Still does on rare occasions. It was a phase that was more intense or would repeat itself when a tooth was coming through. He is a head banging teether

yup my LO does this, slaps her head with both hands when she’s frustrated, we ignore it mostly and if i hear the slap is hard i tell her be gentle mama u don’t need to hit urself but i try to say it super calmly bc when i would raise my voice like omg don’t do that she would just slap herself harder 😒😩 so waiting for it to die out here lol i realllyyy don’t like it but i can understand why it happen. it’s nice to see they’re trying to show us how they feel 😭

My LO slaps her thigh when she’s frustrated too
