    Default Observation and Curious to know...

    if anyone else has noticed the same.

    Logan LOVES to have his head touched! When he sleeps at night, he has to either have his head touching the head board, or snuggled up underneath my chin. If he's in his pak-n-play, he is sure to be sleeing with his head in the mesh netting. It's the weirdest thing...I don't remember if Kayla did this or not, or if it's just a quirky Logan thing...but I thought I'd ask the Cranio Mom experts to see if their kids have the same behavior??

    Enquiring minds want to know...

    I haven't noticed it when Jack sleeps, but he does love to cuddle with his head against our necks or heads.

    Zachary does this when he's asleep if he gets the chance. He was a REALLY bad sleeper, and ended up in with us most nights for a couple years. The thing that drove us nuts was that he was always shoving his head into one of ours, to the point that it was painful and would wake us up. Now that he's all alone on the top bunk, he doesn't get the chance.

    Curious that others have seen the same thing!

    Marisa - That's our Logan! He actually hits his head on the head board! Sounds so painful, but he is unphased! He also pushes his head against you so hard it is uncomfortable for certain! AND he is ALSO a horrible sleeper. We were actually discussing that very subject last night. We either suck it up and try to get tough now, or realize that he will be with us nightly for at least another year.

    That's my Fi-bug....she is always rubbing her head on everything, she tries to push her forehead into mine really hard. She is also a horrible sleeper, she became worse after the surgery. Last night I was up with her every 2 hours.

    It is interesting that these kids seem to be so aware or sensitive of their heads! Camden constantly hits the sides of his head with his hands...not as if he's in pain, but just because he wants to!?!

    Drevan rubs his head when i have his helmet off. I think it's new to him because he can finally touch/feel and he has that yucky helmet on all day.

    Ian rubs his metopic ridge all the time, and he sleeps with us and loves to put his head into our arm pits. Just tunnels right up in there...

    Quintin is a HUGE head rubber too! He likes to rub his head all over our heads. And, to get him to calm down, he loves me to run my fingers through his hair and rub his scalp!
