If there is a medical problem - as suggested - if the skull is not
growing at a normal pace then this may be causing headache from pressure
(this should be checked. Also, if a dose of panadol stops the
head hitting one can presume that pain (head pain in particular) was the
problem.
Kids are good at telling us what is wrong if we just listen to
them.
My daughter was throwing herself off the bed - hitting her head on
the floor at about 2yrs old. Screaming. As she was hitting the
side of her head I concluded that she must be in some form of pain.
On inspection - she had an ear infection. I guess when you have kids
you will find all this out!

Rhonda.

Probably a stupid question from someone who
doesn't have kids yet, but how can you determine if an 18 month old
has a headache if she can't speak?
I know that babies are excellent
communicators & do feel pain, but how can an adult isolate with
certainty where the pain is coming from?
Cheers, Jen
