    It is inevitable that there will be some phenomena that parents cannot understand or control on the road of growth. Some babies will have some very strange actions for parents in life, such as always hitting their heads, which is really weird in the eyes of outsiders. So what's the deal with babies who always hit themselves on the head?

    Most babies hit their heads mainly to relax themselves, which is a kind of self-relaxation behavior. If parents look closely, they may find that the baby is actually beating his head rhythmically, then it means that the baby is comforting himself in this way to calm down. There is also a possibility that the baby's ears or body feel uncomfortable, and make yourself feel better by hitting the head, which is mainly a distraction.

    There are also babies who vent their emotions by hitting their heads, especially for babies who are younger and not fluent in speaking, and cannot express their emotions through language, so the baby will choose to express themselves by using body language. And sometimes, the baby hits himself on the head to get the attention of parents; Of course, babies with autism or other developmental disabilities may also have the possibility of hitting themselves on the head.

    If parents find that the baby has hit his head, the first thing to do is to let the baby feel enough attention from the parents, so as to avoid the baby because he feels that he is ignored by the parents and hits his head to ask for attention. At this time, parents should not blame the baby, but should soothe the baby's emotions and communicate more than the baby, and give the baby enough love.

    Hello, I feel that it is an expression of emotional release, for example, if he is sleepy, but he doesn't know how to solve it, this behavior will occur. Most children cry when they are sleepy until they are tired of crying and fall asleep on their own, which is also called "sleeping".

    When the child's nerves and movements are more developed, they will know how to express and eliminate. Thank you.

    The reasons why babies frequently pat their heads with their hands are:

    1. Otitis media, this situation is the most common reason for babies to pat their heads, this kind of babies generally have a head pat action or repeated milk leakage after a cold, the reason is that the mouth and ears communicate through the Eustachian tube, and the cold causes the nasal mucosa to swell and block the Eustachian tube or leak milk to make the milk enter the Eustachian tube. 2. Eczema or boils in the external auditory canal, which parents can see.

    3. Brain diseases, such as brain tumors. This condition is usually accompanied by vomiting or bulging fontanelles, limb twitching, etc.

    First: if the child has the action of hitting the head under normal circumstances, it is a subconscious action: because the most accustomed position of the human hand is to raise it on both sides of the head, which is the most comfortable and relaxed position; Moreover, the hands are in a random form, generally in the shape of a half-clenched fist; Children cannot be positioned and lifted for a long time, nor can they fix their shape; Therefore, it will be looked at by adults.

    Second: if the child is the onset time and the main symptom has the action of hitting the head, it may be really uncomfortable, because the headache will make the child unconsciously want to reduce the pain, and then in the habitual and subconscious situation, they are to beat the head with their hands to relieve the pain, or subconsciously think that this will reduce the pain; Just like adults or students who encounter problems and will stroke and press their foreheads or temples and other habitual and subconscious form movements, if so, please cooperate with the doctor to do the examination and parents to observe more to see which kind of child belongs to.

    Maybe it's not comprehensive, but I hope it can be a little hint or help for your problem.

    The child's growth has the degree of cognition from the five senses, such as sensation and taste. Therefore, hitting one's own head is also an awareness of pain and hand activity, so you should not be in a hurry. However, parents should guide appropriately and divert their children's attention. After all, a child's brain is fragile.

As long as you eat less, the child is actually feeding him coarse grains, although the child's digestive system is not good, then you must at least boil the coarse grains for him into porridge and then feed, but if you feed too much, you will definitely have indigestion. However, the child's stomach and intestines will be exercised, as long as it is not done for a long time, it will not affect the child's acquired health, and will lay the foundation for the child's acquired body.
