What to do if i know head banging can cause brain damage but what about head bobbing?

Probably not: However, if the head shaking is very vigorous it can cause damage.

Bobbing not damaging: There is no evidence that head bobbing causes brain injury. Usually the deflections of the head on neck are not sufficiently forceful to cause a problem.
