9 months old doing strange actions

My 9 month old has started holding her head randomly, gripping her hands tightly at different points in the day. She also shakes her head uncontrollably . She also screams out the blue when she’s fine. Something is telling me it’s not right. I’m just looking for some reassurance I suppose 😔

When you say shakes her head is it left to right, my little one used to do that, she also grips her hands when she’s angry or getting frustrated and puts her hands over her ears

Personally I’d say what your describing is normally as they learn and grow but if you feel something is wrong speak to a GP or Heath visitor

My little one does similar when he is teething, he hits the back of his head quite a lot. I read somewhere that there is a nerve which bothers them there when they have teeth coming, so maybe could be that? But if you really are worried give your HV or GP a call xx
