Baby like to throw himself back and bang his head

Hey mummies. My baby (currently 10 months) like to throw himself back and bang the back of his head rapidly especially when on the stroller. (Ongoing since 2 mths ago) Recently i google, and i saw this can be a sign of austim. Personally i dont think he is, he interacts well with us, good eye contact & respond to his name. Although he still cant understand simple instruction, he will raise his arms up when he saw we were about to carry him up. Mummies, just when to know if any of ur babies does this too? Is this a normal behaviour? Do i need to be concern of austim ?

My LO was like this too when she’s angry or tired (frustrated but don’t know how to express it), likes to throw herself back and if I wear the protector, she throws herself front 💀. She’s not autistic. I think she outgrew that action around 14/15 months iirc (she’s 3 now). Maybe you can observe when he does this, is it because he’s frustrated or tired? Alternatively, can bring bb for an assessment for a piece of mind.

Agree with the others, sometimes it's best not to look too closely at Google for medical advice. Seek advice from a PD if he has other signs of autism. But at this age, they are pushing their boundaries and experimenting with their bodies, which can involve doing stuff that are dangerous.

No lah not autism. Google also everything autism. Its normal my son does it as well. Wait till they get after 1, throw whole body to the back and on the floor, esp when they cannot get things or theyre frustrated

sometimes best not to believe everything that you googled. Seek advice from a pd if you're concern
