Whenever I put Rylee in her highchair, she starts to bang her head on the back of it non-stop. It makes me kind of worried, that there might be something wrong. Did any of your kids do this and I am just being too paranoid? TIA

Olivia is doing it now, & I remember Joe doing it too. I think that all babies probably do it, pretty soon she will bumping her head on yours & banging on the wall.

Both my kids did this for a little while, more so DS. In the highchair, in the crib, against the wall, etc.. I asked our ped. and he said some kids seem to enjoy the rhythmic sensation. I remember my little sister doing it on the couch as a toddler/preschooler. I wouldn't worry about it, unless she's doing it so hard that it's causing injury.

Here's an article on this very topic.
