Do babies get headache?

Question

Do babies and children of age below 2 years get headache and why?

How would we know if a baby of age below 1 year gets a headache?

Answer 1

yes. probably for same reasons we do. age doesn't mean anything. headaches can come from stress, loud noise, lots of things. i remember one day when my baby was about 11 months old, she went and laid down on the floor and put her hand on her head and just laid there. i came to her and was playing w/ her and she got ill. i really didn't think that she would have a headache, i guess b/c she was so young, it never crossed my mind. but anyway, she had been fine all day and it just hit all of a sudden. i checked her temp. it was normal. i checked everything and she appeared to perfectly fine. but she didn't want to move, at all and was holding her little fingers tightly on her head. i gave her a little tylenol, and 30 mins later she was fine.now she is going to be 2 in april, and she tells me, she'll say my head hurts, and hold her little hands over her head.

Answer 2

It's possible it didn't pick it up.. when you had your ultrasound, did you see the baby moving? The baby should be moving by now unless your not as far as you think you are. But don't stress about it.. only makes matters worse! Good luck hun and I hope everything works out just fine.

Answer 3

Yes, for any number of reasons. Teething can a normal reason. No matter how well you try to protect them, they can still get knocked around sometimes too--this can cause headaches. ...and yes they can get stressed out too--this of course can cause headaches.

Answer 4

They sure can! My son had an arterial venous malformation, and hydrocephalus and it caused him to have head pain constantly.

Answer 5

I think they do. Cause when my son was sick he would hold he's head. He'd tell me mommy hurt.
