Question
Why does my baby always bang his head?
Answer
There can be several reasons why a baby might bang his head, including environmental factors, physiological needs, psychological comfort-seeking, and pathological conditions. First, observe if there are any abnormalities in the baby’s head and face, such as discomfort or itching due to excessive sweating. If so, use a suitable baby wash product to wash the baby’s hair, which often improves the situation. Secondly, the baby might be banging his head because he is hungry; after feeding, he usually becomes calm. Moreover, this could be a way for the baby to seek comfort from adults, as the baby feels joyful when kissed by adults. Additionally, if accompanied by symptoms like scratching ears and night terrors, it may be related to a deficiency of trace elements or ear infection, and it is necessary to consult a doctor promptly. At the same time, if accompanied by symptoms like excessive sweating and hair loss on the pillow, it may also be a sign of trace element deficiency, and appropriate supplementation can be made according to medical advice. Remember to let your baby get plenty of sunlight on nice days.
