[quote=Anonymous]22:48 - Thank you so much for responding. I'm so sorry that you are dealing with this as well. I totally agree that my level of anxiety from this is off the charts but I know it's minor relative to what many other parents on this forum are dealing with. It's just so disturbing to us.

I think it was your thread I was reading about where someone suggested the sleep clinic at Childrens. Did you touch base with them? I left them a message on Friday but I'm not sure if head banging is something they deal with. We've tried a weighted blanket without much success however I'm going to touch base with the company this week to exchange ours for a larger and heavier one to see if that will do anything. One other suggestion from our OT is a vibrating pillow if the blanket doesn't work.

My fear is that son has done this for so long now - over half of his life - that it's a habit much like sucking his thumb he uses to self soothe back to sleep. Have your doctors basically told you to just ride it out and hopefully he'll outgrow it? My pedi isn't concerned at all which baffles me.[/quote]
