head bobbing

This video doesn’t show much of what I’m talking about but it’s impossible to get a video when he’s doing it. (Picture the last head nod he does but X10) Does this seem like normal behaviour? He does this several times a day and has done some form of this from a few months old. Most of the time it is really aggressive and the movement actually makes him fall over or head butt things around him. Its like in the video but imagine really exaggerated and repeated 5/6 times and then he just stops and carries on?… I took him drs at 7 months old and they put it down as sensory enjoyment but it was no way as frequent or aggressive as it is now so I’m starting to worry. GP has no appointments for 2 weeks, should I go walk in or our other babies doing this? Thanks in advance

My son does this, continuously sometimes he will fall forward, or backwards. He is 1 now but has been doing it a while, I think it's quite normal x

@Danielle that makes me feel better thank you. the more he does it the more I worry. Does your son do it like literally head banging like he was at a heavy metal concert? That’s the only way I can describe it lol x

my daughter does this and she recently turned 1, it’s absolutely normal i think, just babies being silly, unless he’s showing signs of any problems from the “head banging” then maybe go gp, but my daughter does it, especially when she hears any music and u was singing in the vid! 🤍

@Lottie yep lol that's the only way I can explain it too 🤣 very aggressive like his head is going to wobble off 🙈 and like you've put too, does it so hard it makes him fall over. He likes to do it whilst bouncing on his knees too, which doesn't help with my mini heatattacks everytime he tumbles 🙈 but honestly I don't think it's anything to worry about. Most of their random movements are sensory seeking x

Looks like he’s practicing his head nodding. Definitely doesn’t look unusual for his age ☺️

My son still does it at the age of 2. It’s how he dances lol

So I finally got a better video of what I’m talking about! Do we still all think normal? The drawer has nothing to do with it, he does this no matter what he’s doing x
