There is an English programme at World called "Baby Whisperer" on Monday 8:00pm, which is talking about how to pacify some 'tough' babies.
During the past Monday programme, it was talking about how to treat a baby who would like to be hold before sleeping at night and he would like to hit his head on the floor or wall.
If you would like to avoid him to hurt himself, you can put him on a bean bag until he calm down.
