"The baby is almost one year old, and recently he always hits himself on the head with his hands, whether he is happy or not, what's going on? Is he sick? Simply think it’s fun?” Many mothers would encounter babies hitting themselves on the head. What are the specific reasons?
Vestibular system development
Slap on the head is related to the development of the child's vestibular system. Some babies head, shake their heads, even bump their heads, and sometimes sway their bodies. This is the same as the baby's like jumping on the ground. It is a normal phenomenon. This is the stimulation that babies need to seek for the development of the vestibular system. The vestibule is an organ that maintains balance. Most babies will have a vestibular "self-stimulation" stage, which involves jumping up and down, shaking their heads and shaking their bodies.
3%~15% of babies also hit other objects with their heads. This behavior can disappear within a short period of time, or it can last for a longer period of time, most of which disappear between 1 and 1.5 years of age.
is fun
If your baby smiles happily while flapping his head, you should rest assured that this may just be a habitual action of your baby. Parents can use toys or other activities to distract the baby.
However, if the symptoms continue to get worse with the increase in months, you should go to the neurologist to get rid of behavioral disorders and other problems.
The baby is angry
The baby will not express accurately, sometimes he will express his anger and anger by heading. For such a baby, it is best for parents to give the baby some soft cushions, let him vent his dissatisfaction and anger by hitting these things, and soothe the baby in time when the baby is finished venting.
seeks stimulation
Some babies like to start to seek stimulation. At the beginning, it may be accidental collision and found to be very exciting, so they gradually form the habit of starting. The main solution is to let his hands do something and distract his attention from other areas, so he will gradually stop doing this action.
Teething
Baby teething can cause red, swollen and painful gums, and some babies will express their discomfort by heading their heads.
When your baby is teething, you can vaguely see that the gums in the oral cavity are whitish or slightly congested and swollen. When you touch the gums, there is a tooth-like hard feeling. Swelling and painful gums and discomfort are inevitable during teething.
Babies at this stage will be irritable and crying. In order to relieve the baby’s discomfort, mom and dad can wipe the swollen gums with gauze dipped in ice water, and at the same time achieve the dual effects of massage and ice. In addition to ice compress, can also chew your baby's frozen teeth and relieve the discomfort of teething.

If the child has eczema, rash, scalp rash on the head and face, causing itchy scalp or sweating irritation, because the child is not able to express it, he will also pat the head. Parents should carefully observe their children's performance, and promptly give correct care to the above problems.
Otitis media
Otitis media can cause the baby to have earache symptoms. A month-old baby can accurately express the painful part, and the baby cannot speak, so it may be expressed by heading.
Otitis media is the most common in children from six months to three years old. Otitis media is manifested as irritability, earache, fever, watery ears, poor sleep, and hearing impairment. If Bao Ma suspects that the baby has otitis media, she needs to take the baby to see a doctor as soon as possible for further diagnosis, and give the baby medication under the guidance of a doctor. If
is a big baby who can communicate and can understand the words of adults, then the head usually contains the baby's personal emotions, such as unsatisfied needs, unwillingness to follow the baby, etc. It is recommended to refer to the following four methods to make this behavior gradually disappear:
01
just do not say
If the head is too heavy, it may hurt the baby himself, mommy just needs to move the baby's hand away, do not use words to point outResponsibilities, orders, too much, but negative reinforcement, will make babies pay more attention to the behavior of heading.
02
Behaviour Ignorance Method

03

young children’s attention is unstable, and they are easily attracted by new goals. At this time, mom may wish to hand new toys or new objects to the baby and guide them with words. For example, take a small colored ball and pretend to be surprised and say to the baby: "Wow, this ball is so heavy, I can't hold it anymore. See if the baby can move it.
04
Target substitution method
If the focus is not successful , You can also change the target. That is to teach your baby to beat other safe parts with small hands. For example, clap your hands, slap your little butt, but be sure to teach your baby to tap, and it’s an entertaining way to make your baby feel that this is just one A fun game.
