Advice Needed. 1year old keeps banging his head??

[lynchy09]

My one year old little boy keeps trying to bang his head/face on things, he usually does it when he knows he's being watched. He is an only child so hasnt picked it up from another sibling. I'm hoping its just a passing phase?? Does anyone know why or if its something i should be concerned about.

My DS did this as a part of a tantrum! I think its a phase TBH.

My DS didn't, he's now 4. But plenty of his friends did. After angst had passed consensus of my baby circle, was that it was mostly driven by attention seeking or frustration. Most of my chums ignored unless it was positively dangerous (e.g. child in new environment not realising how hard concrete can be etc.) Hope this helps.

my boy used to do this we started ignoring him when he was doing this type of behaviour,he started to do it when he was about 1yr old he stopped by the time he was 18mths hopefully it will pass
