i have a 7 month old and she does weird things soim just curious....do alot of you have kids and if so did youre child ever intentionally hit herself in the head with her toys until it hurt? because that is what my little bundle of joy does and it kinda worries me to tell you the truth because i dont think that this is a good thing..

Lol thats funny, my son is 10 1/2 months now and will bang his head intentionally over and over on the floor, walls, and tables. We just shrug it off cause hes a boy, and hes tough, but if my girl was doing it I'd be worried too. I see it as them learing cause and effect, pushing how hard then can play. Hopefully she'll learn and grow out of it.

Dont worry my little girl used to do crazy stuff like when she would sleep in my bed, she used ram her head against the headboard. I think that it is their way of learning cause and effect (if u do something, then here is the result of it). There is nothing wrong with her. Maybe just let her know that it will hurt her. She may not listen but its ok, she will grow out of it.
