What happens when a baby hits his head with his hands?

Children will exhibit various behaviors as they grow up, and hitting their heads with their hands is a relatively common behavior. This problem is mainly caused by two reasons: one is the child’s bad habits, and the other is the baby’s headache problem. If it is caused by bad habits, then there is no need to worry too much, but if it is caused by headaches, then parents must pay enough attention to it.

There are two main reasons why babies slap their heads with their hands, which are also bad habits. One is headache. Pay attention to whether the baby's spirit and diet are normal. As long as the baby is in good spirits, play with the baby and take the baby to play with children of the same age to divert the baby. In addition, be sure to rule out headaches caused by diseases such as fever, rhinitis or anemia.

2. What to do if your baby has a headache

1. If a child often has headaches and each attack is no different from previous ones, parents only need to let the baby rest and observe carefully.

2. If the baby is in severe pain, you can use some painkillers. If this is the first time you have this type of headache, it is best to see a professional doctor to rule out certain medical factors.

3. Finally, parents need to be reminded that they should never be careless when their baby has a headache. Take him to the hospital in time for necessary examinations. Headaches caused by brain diseases often leave serious sequelae if they are not discovered in time and necessary treatment is not taken.

There are many reasons why babies hit their own heads, such as illness, lack of security, imitating others, habitual actions, lack of attention in the family atmosphere, etc. The most common reasons are:

Curiosity. When babies grow up, they will have great curiosity about things in the outside world, and hitting their heads is also a manifestation of curiosity.

When he hits his head during play, adults will react strongly to his behavior, such as anxiously stopping him from hitting his head. He will then become even more excited, thinking that adults are playing with him, and thus he will treat hitting his head as a game.

Lack of sense of security. If the baby does not receive attention from parents for a long time, he will develop a lack of sense of security. At this time, he will use various methods to attract the attention of his parents, and this is the first one.
