DS (14mo) is very weird about his head! Always has been. When he was very young he would do this kind of Indian Head Wobble thing on his playmat, rubbing the back of his head from side to side, and he still sometimes does that in a high chair. The hair on the back of his head is permanently matted!
When he is frustrated or angry or the sky is blue he bangs his head back in his high chair, and sometimes right down onto the sides (ouch!). He used to headbang in his cot too, onto the front of his head/forehead.
He like having his temperature taken with an in-ear thermometer but won't countenance using an inhaler when he had bronchiolitus.
It's all very odd and I've never seen another baby do anything like it. I think he also has some sensory oddities with food (will pull some textures out of his mouth, including things that he liked previously (a week, day, 5 seconds previously...). He was 10 weeks prem and the consultant said it's not uncommon, but his twin sister isn't like it at all.
Has anyone had a baby anything like my little wierdo this? Am wondering if cranial osteopathy might help.
