Anyone else have experience with a baby who bangs their head on stuff? My 1 yr old son gives himself horrible bumps and bruises all over his forehead because when he gets upset, he'll bang his head on whatever is nearest, be that the edge of his crib, the wall, the floor, etc. It seriously looks like I beat him or something, but they're all self inflicted and I don't know how to get him to stop. It escalated even further today when I was trying to make him a bottle as fast as I could and he was in his playpen throwing a fit. He smashed his face so hard on the edge of his playpen that he busted his mouth and had blood on his face by the time I finally got to him with his bottle. I just don't even know what to do and I don't want him to seriously hurt himself, nor do I want someone to try to take my baby away because they think I hurt him at home 😥
@kcamps that's how I feel too! I'm like should I ignore it and let him beat the crap out of his head? Or should I reprimand him for it, this giving him attention for it, but save him from potentially causing serious damage? I go back and forth with myself about it and am trying to avoid going to the Dr if possible bc I absolutely hate the hospital we have to go to.
My son will purposely bump something then pretend like hes dying. Or he will do it to be funny. Hes covered on bruises. Hes just a rough a tough boy
That’s what my two year old does, he does it when he throws his tantrums. I’ve been told to just ignore it and not have any kind of reaction, but then again being that he’s one it can be even more nerve wracking, it makes me nervous that he’s going to do serious damage to his head. Maybe call his doctor and see what they recommend you doing?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
@itsamemario, you deleted your post before I could hit send but this is my comment: I don’t know if this answers your question but this is my answer.
My son is 7 and he knows race and color. Why? Because he himself comes from a family that is multi racial and because he has already experienced racism. I also believe as his mother it’s my job to teach him color and the cold hard truth about society. He knows what’s going on in this world. I’d be hurting him if I allowed him to blindly walk out...
I know they "say"'not to put bumpers in the cribs but my son moves around so much in there when he cries that he bangs up his head and face on the bars 😟 and hits his soft spot and I don't want him to really hurt himself.. I'm thinking of just doing it. Hell he's slept with me the past almost 3 months and they say not to do that either. He could really hurt himself if I don't put them in. Do any of you ladies do something else instead to prevent this? Maybe I should ask his doctor and see what s...
So over this feeling!
Ever since I've had ds, OH and I have fought my mother on not wanting to give ds a dummy just cause we don't like them and find he self soothes. For the past three times my mother has had him, she has gone against our rule and given him a dummy and of course I spoke to her about it (that's all my knowledge on how many times she's done it). On Sunday we celebrated my stepfathers birthday and due to OH working I had to do it alone which isn't the thing that bothered me. The...
So last night my husband pretty much told me that if I don't have sex with him that he would cheat on me....I was like wtf. I was like you would seriously cheat on your pregnant wife?! I also told him that if he cheats on me I will NOT hesitate to file for divorce. I don't need my girls growing up thinking that cheating is ok. This was after we tried to have sex but it hurt too much so I told him to stop. When it comes to sex my husband only thinks about himself lately!!!! 😒😒😒😒
My daughter always did that I just grab her and make it so she can't squirm away and I'll hold the back of her head against my chest and tell her I'm not going to let go until she stops and when I finally let go because she stops I would say don't so it again or I'm going to do it again
