When he gets sleepy he usually rubs his eyes but lately he pulls on his hair too. Tonight he pulled so hard he started crying. Is this normal?
He just does this when he is tired not any other time.

lol both my daughters did that. well one still does, she is a year. my oldest stopped when she was about 1 1/2 old. my oldest also pulled her hair when she got mad. I asked the Dr. and he said it was normal so I never worry about it. he will stop.

Yeah babies do... and so does mine :) When my little girl (10 month old) is sleepy she pulls lock of her hair and she pulls her ears...rubs her eyes. Its perfectly normal!

My daughter also pulls her hair when she is tired. She never pulls it so hard that she cries though. I would say that it is very normal.

Sounds like it. My 11 month old son rubs his eyes and slides his hand up is forehead. if he is really tired eyes scratches and pulls his ears

Perfectly normal. I have one that would pull her ears and hair, and my other would slap her legs and rub her eyes. My oldest doesn't pull her hair anymore, she's 2. My youngest is one and she still does the leg slappin and eye rubbin

My mother tells me that when I was a kid I would twist my hair around my finger until it knotted and then I would pull the knot out! My hair didn't look so great during that period, luckily both my hair and me grew out of it.

its very normal. my son (who is 8 now) twirled his hair till one spot was bald. my daughter (who is 4 months old now) pulls her ears till she cries.
its okay...his hair will grow back. if you are really concerned with it...put socks or baby mittens on his hands...he might still be able to get ahold of his hair...but he wont scratch himself in the process.

My daughter did that until she was about 18 months old.

My son does that too. It's very useful because that's the sign for us to take him upstairs and start his bedtime routine.
