Your baby may bang his or her head, especially between 18 and 24 months of age. Some babies will repeatedly bang or bang their head against objects, such as pillows or mattresses. Others will bang their head against walls. This can be a concern for parents because it can cause injury.

The survival rate of premature babies is assessed by doctors from the time the baby is resuscitated at birth and can survive without significant illness or sequelae. In most cases, the care of premature babies is only completely successful when the baby reaches about 24 weeks of gestation.
