fighting?

My twins are almost 11 months. In the last few weeks they've been fighting daily! Its hair pulling, biting and toppling each other until someone gets hysterical and we have to break it up. Has anyone else had this problem? What did you do? TIA

Oh yes.  My girls are 11 months too and they have def. started this.  A lot of hair pulling and taking toys from each other.  It is quitea trip.  I am constantly saying to Bella (the one that bullies the other) "Bella, that is Rachel's toy.  Give it back to her".  And I do say no a lot as well.   It's insane that we have kids that 'giht' already!   I feel like my mother.  LOL

My girls physically fought a lot between 12 and 18 months.   We used redirection and time outs - which I think helped some.  Although, I think there's just a certain amount of time that has to pass.  When my girls got to be about 18 months, it started getting much better for us.  I think much of it had to do with better communication skills.  My girls still fight from time to time - but now it tends to be verbal arguments rather than physical bullying.
