bald spot from crawling on his head

[Guest guest]

Another minor issue...but thought it was humorous to share. And/or someone

might have some input to share from a similar experience.

Mighty Maxwell is loving being mobile these days. He crawls like a madman.

And YAY, YAY, YAY, he finally has the strength to crawl " typically " with his

head up. However, he is so obsessed with crawling with a car in both hands that

he often relies on his head for balance.

The result? A bald spot smack dab in the front of his head...pretty silly

looking! Plus it is now on the verge of getting pink and perhaps sore.

Hmmmm...any ideas? I give him tons of opportunity to use his walker and I

always encourage him to pick up his head when crawling. But the boy loves his

cars...what are you gonna do???

Terry cloth headband maybe? Gotta love the ol' five point crawl. Kennedy

used to get a bald spot on the BACK of her head from back scooting...I

remember those days well!

Amy-

I just have to giggle at this one! Can he wear a hat that will protect the

pink spot and even promote head-sliding?? What a hoot! You have to be sure

to get video of this one!

Amy,

Dylan crawled pushing a Little Tikes dump truck backwards. Roy bolted

it down, so it wouldn't dump. In this way he crawled on his knees

with his back straight so he was looking forward - it was his

transition to on his feet walking.
