I am absolutely at my wits end with my 20 month old. For months now he has been rocking back and forth in his crib bashing his head and shouting. No matter what we do he will not stop this and he is doing it extremely hard to the point we have seen him lean all the way forward then quickly and full force go back and bang his head over and over. We see him rub his head and just continue. It’s really distressing to see and hear every night.
As far as I’m aware there are no bumpers etc that are big enough to sit where his head is when he’s bashing, most are just suitable for babies and I’m not sure they’d help anyway with how hard he is doing it. I’m really worried he’s going to do himself some internal damage with this too. Has anyone else experienced this? It’s feeling less and less like a phase as the months go on. His crib has slats at the sides and the headboards are just solid wood boards. Our upstairs neighbours have complained about hearing the banging too but I really don’t know what I can do about this. 😓
