My daughter went through a phase of patting her face and head, she still sometimes slaps the side of her head and she is 11 months now </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-normal-baby-behavior#post-660963 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 10:28:19 +0000 mrsjazz 660963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. They beat themselves up as they learn what their little muscles and limbs can do. Pretty soon he'll be punching YOU in the face, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-normal-baby-behavior#post-660961 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 10:26:56 +0000 Weagle 660961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. Pretty normal. I don't think it's related to anything in particular, just getting used to how his muscles work. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-this-normal-baby-behavior#post-660685 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 08:53:50 +0000 mrskc 660685@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A couple days ago my 5 month old started clasping his hands together and punching himself in the face repeatedly. I find it really odd and I don't know if I should worry about it or if it's just one of those strange things babies do. </p> <p>I wonder if its related to teething? </p> <p>Anyone's LO do this? </p>
