DS turned 2 last week, and for the last week or so has been pulling out his hair.
It started when he was sat in his high chair and DH and I were finishing our tea, and has progressed from there. He is now pulling out clumps of his hair. It mainly seems to be when he's bored, or when trying to get to sleep. He has been poorly with a chest infection, which I don't think has helped, and his sleep has been very disrupted.
I've tried distracting him and giving him a soft toy to hold while going to sleep, but he gets angry until allowed to go back to pulling his hair. He's also doing this in his sleep, and cries if stopped.
Short of shaving off all his hair, does anyone have any suggestions? I've spoken to the HV who was going to look into this but hasn't come back to me yet. I also mentioned it to the GP when I took DS about his chest, but he didn't seem concerned at all.
