Could do with some advice/reassuarance, in the last couple of weeks dd has startd banging her head against the back of the highchair, it's not with every meal but she does it hard enough to make her cry and doesn't stop even when it obviously hurts. I think that it may be frustration as she wants to have a go with spoon etc - have been giving her a spoon to hold while feeding or finger food to try and avoid this. also starts banging head sometimes if I try to help her with her cup - she's got the gist of it but still doesn't know to tip it once it starts to empty. Tried telling her no firmly, tried ignoring, not really sure of the best approach but I'm now finding myself feeling quite nervous around feeding her in the high chair in case she starts banging her head. She very much enjoys her food and we try to keep feeding times light and fun.
