Baby hitting his own head
Recently I noticed my boy’s behavior of hitting his own head when he want to show his frustration. For example, when he wants to open a kitchen cabinet and I stopped him from doing it. Is this normal behavior? I am concerned 😟

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
