I have a little boy who is a little over
one. At first I didn't think anything of
it but now am worried. He hits his head,
while lying down on his stomach to the
matress or pillow to get to sleep. He has
been doing this for a while now and am
worrying if it is normal?

If he only hits (i am guessing you mean
bangs his head?) against the pillow or
mattress as he's going off to sleep, I
don't really think you should worry.
But if he does (or starts to) it all
night, at other times &/or against
harder things then i'd get him to a dr or
pedeatrician & ask about having a
brain scan to check if there's something
hurting him or something that's casueing
him to do this. But if it's only going
off to sleep & against pillow/mattress
& can't see it as a real problem,
maybe just a stage.
