13 month old head banging

Hi
My 13 month old has just started banging his head against walls, his cot, chair legs, tables. He seems to do mainly when he's tired.
Any advice? Do I need to be worried?

I think it's quite common at this age? I know my DS did it and other DF said theirs did too.

I think you've noticed that it happens more when he's tired. How's his speech? Does the head banging be one worse if he can't communicate his wants?

Thank you for replying. He does seem to do it more when he's annoyed or frustrated so maybe it is just his way of communicating.
How long did your ds do it for?
