Hopefully it makes a difference and she gives you trying to bang her little head </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slamming-head#post-2604188 Mon, 15 Aug 2016 13:53:31 +0000 sorrycharlie 2604188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: so I went and bought an over sized pool noodle and managed to wedge it on. It doesn't cover the bottom but covers enough! My mom babysat the night I attached it and said my DD went up and down the rail looking for somewhere to bang her head 😳 She hasn't attempted the sides yet but I may do those too.</p> <p>[attach=1296/16/obysh7.450x600.image.jpeg] </p> [attach=1296/16/obyshm.450x600.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slamming-head#post-2601947 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 14:55:46 +0000 MrsRcCar 2601947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No advice here. N still does it now and then at nearly 4. It's mostly when he is too tired. For a while we just ignored it, now with both boys doing it I intervene. I say things like "no thank you. " or "please stop slamming your head it hurts you and mommy". Sometimes all I can do is control them physically from doing it. Their doctor says they will grow out of it, but here I am still waiting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slamming-head#post-2601937 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 14:37:32 +0000 Shantuck 2601937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son was a head slammer. We just tried to stop him whenever we saw it by picking him up and saying "ouchie!" and he outgrew it eventually. It's a weird comfort thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slamming-head#post-2601888 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 13:34:03 +0000 sorrycharlie 2601888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: hmmmm. Maybe I'll try tht! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slamming-head#post-2601887 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 13:33:31 +0000 sorrycharlie 2601887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So it's kind of a huge rail.. This is what I did last night (with an additional strip of blanket under the top layer). </p> [attach=1296/16/obpi7w.600x450.image.jpeg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slamming-head#post-2601886 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 13:32:50 +0000 Mrsbells 2601886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pinterest has guides of how to do it like this </p> [attach=1326/16/obpi6q.564x564.be2fd888bcd33e6bb8a38941f14f0ce6.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slamming-head#post-2601884 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 13:31:21 +0000 Mrsbells 2601884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: can you try using a pool noodle to fully cushion the crib rail? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slamming-head#post-2601881 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 13:30:27 +0000 Bao 2601881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! I don't have experience with this, but my LO will bite objects when she's mad and I can tell it hurts her teeth, so I know the feeling! Hopefully someone will have some good tips for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/slamming-head#post-2601828 Wed, 10 Aug 2016 12:50:41 +0000 sorrycharlie 2601828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 18 month old has taken to slamming head when she's mad or upset. She will on the floor, but will on her crib rail in the night time. It is so loud because of how hard she's hitting it that it sounds like construction. </p> <p>Her forehead is COVERED in bruises. I cut up a fleece blanket and tied it around the crib rail for some padding. I can still hear the banging when she does it so I don't know that it's making a huge difference. </p> <p>I don't know what else to do :( any experience? </p>
