Random one - head rubbing

My LO frantically rubs his head at each side when falling asleep. I’m aware this is probably self soothing but he’s making his little head sore. He has mitts on for bed as no matter how much I check his nail, he manages to wake up with a scratch. Just wondering if anyone else’s baby does this?

My eldest used to do this when she was about this age, yes self soothing x

Mine is doing the exact same, but mainly at the front of his head. I've had to put mits on, as he's waking up with scratches all over his head

My baby does this head thing too. He’s getting a strip of bare hair where he’s rubbing it off the sides 😅

@Elle mine too 😂 he’s got a perfectly rectangular patch of skin where there just isn’t any hair. When he first started doing it I was so worried, kept going to wake him and his mattress was covered in hair 😂
