RE: Question about Head Banging

[Guest guest]

Most of the ones I hear about including myself as a baby and my

daughter involve banging the head on any hard surface such as the

floor or a wall. had shots through one year and then we

stopped. I don't really know what the hitting himself is, but I have

heard of others who go through the same thing. I think I read that

when kids have ear infections or if they are teething they may hit

themselves in the head. This too shall pass.

My son has food allergies, when he was young he frequently banged his

head on the crib. He also would hit himself. Food sensitivities have

many symptoms, and I have heard the same from Parents of other food

allergic children.

The food sensitivity may be true in some cases, but all had

until she was 6 months old was breast milk and I was on a bland non-

dairy, non-wheat routine, so I know it was not food allergies with

.

I am way behind on reading, sorry. The thing that jumped out at me when

reading your post & being a mother to 4 children is the new baby. If he has

sensory issues going on coulld the new noices of a infant in the house be

overwhelming to him? Or even guest coming to see the new baby? There is so

much that effects these kids that wouldn't even be noticable to other

children. Just a question??? For my son, just a small schedule change

would make him crazy. And that was tough with him being the youngest of 4,

schedules were changing all the time.
