Head banging on floor

My baby is banging his head on the floor when he is on his tummy. He will do it so hard until he cries.(I have blankets and pads on the floor) Idk what this is and it seems alarming. I’m googling everything and it’s more common in boys than girls. Are your babies doing this during tummy time?

Like is he rolling over and heading his head?

@Omari when he is only on his tummy he rocks his head and then hits it on the floor hard

Yeah no I'm not sure my son hits his head when he tries to roll over to his back

My son bashes his face into the floor during tummy time, seemingly on purpose 🤦🏼‍♀️

Yeah going through something similar with my 6 month old. She gets excited and arches her entire body back then forward and if you're not careful she'd headbang you. Think it's bc they don't have the best head control just yet

Highly recommend reading Vaccines 2.0 by Mark Blaxill. Hope he feels better.

@Jana don't start the vaccine fear mongering 🙄 you have no idea if her kid is vaccinated or not. @Keonni everything I have seen and read is telling me that this is a developmental milestone for babies around 7 months. Your baby is probably exploring his body movements and limits, and may take those limits too far. Even if your son is right on track, if you are worried, don't hesitate to call your doctor! I am a big believer in the intuition of mothers ❤️ please report back if you do call your pediatrician 🙏 would love a follow-up to hear if little bubba is doing okay!!

@Jana where did you read that I state vaccinations?

@Abbey Jean Thank you for clearing that up! I was thinking about a motor development and I will contact my doctor on Monday just to make sure everything is normal! I will definitely keep you in the loop😊
