My youngest has done it as well.
It may seem alarming, but head butting — like biting or tantrums — is usually just another way toddlers show frustration or anger.
Kids tend to stop butting once they start speaking and can get your attention with their words instead of by force.
Until then, you could help your child by:
* don’t laugh or encourage your child, but say “no” in a firm way, then give attention to the one who’s hurt,
*distract / redirect your childs attention to something else,
*help your child to communicate in a different way, you could consider baby signing
* banish bad influences like tv, computer, etc.

I would get a check up. it’s possible he is doing it because of teething, ear ache, head ache.

could it possible be teething or an ear ache i had this problem when my son had a headache and he just did it as a response to the pain

Get him checked by your GP first.

That’s a tough one! I’d start with a firm “no” and putting him down when he does it to a person….

how did you go with this?

thankfully mine quickly grew out of this habit but now has started kicking when trying to change her – over one thing and into another

Has any advice below helped?

I hope he is no longer doing it.

I hope he hasnt done himself any serious injuries.

Any luck with stopping it?

How is it going now?

i hope its a phase for you too. poor bub

First rule out any medical problem so go to the GP My son did this but not to people until one day we were outside and i took the cat of him and he headbutted the cement path as hard as he could he never headbutted again.I immediatley took him to the hospital but he didn’t have any major damage.I don’t like smacking but 1 hard smack on his leg and a very loud NO may shock him into stopping this habit as he could seriously hurt you.Get professional advice.

hi Thanks heaps ! Wondering this myself.

I am hoping its just a faze and they’ll grow out of it, try and stop them from doing it if you can

Hope you were able to resolve the problem,

My daughter used to do this when she had a headache , or teething I think she didn’t understand the pain so she would head but it was hard and upsetting for e because I could tell she was upset and I couldn’t stop it.
She even used to hit the walls. You could possible try panadol.

I’ve known kids to go through headbutting stages but not really to this extent. It doesn’t really sound like normal behaviour and if it persists I’d definitely get him checked. You could try ignoring it and see if he loses interest

I find the head butting normal. But if he bites and has a tanty when u say no. H,mm
