My 1 month old son pulls his own hair
Hi Doctors,
At times my one month old son pulls his own hair and starts crying, also sometimes he hurts himself on ears and face so to stop that we are wearing mittens in his hands.
Can you please suggest ways to stop this habit.
Thank
Nilesh

These all r things the baby will do for few months
The mittens in the hand is a good thing u have done
There is not much u can do as it is normal tendency of the baby to do such things
Some times the baby will pinch his face skin with his own nails
Just watch for such activities and try to prevent them
After few months these activities will resolve by itself
Next Steps
Make sure your baby is being given exclusive breast feeding and followed by burping
Health Tips
