Hits Herself In The Head When She's Tired

by Dee Dee
(Charleston, WV USA)

Is it normal for a baby to hit themselves in the head repeatedly when they are tired? Is this something I should be concerned about? The doctor said her ears are clear but has no answer for why she hits herself like that.

My 7 month old hits herself in the head too.

When I nurse my seven month old daughter, she starts hitting herself on the left side of her head, pretty hard. She is my third child and the
only one who has done this. I am hoping it will stop soon, she's been doing this now for about two weeks. My doctor thinks it could be pain from teething.
