Is anyone's LO a hair puller?

I wear my hair up a lot and Savannah totally grabs it at the base of my neck if I am carrying her up on my shoulder.  Those little bitty hands sure can grab a lot of hair. It hurts too.  She has a really strong  grip, lol! Anybody else got a hair puller on their hands?  Not sure if there is really any way to get her to stop.  Other than just turning her around a different way.  Guess she is just training for when she has to defend herself from big brother like I had to do with my brothers.

  • Yep! Right at the base. I wonder, how much hair can that little hand grab!! And he grabs the skin on my neck....by the fist full!!!

  • The other day, she grabbed my pump  cord and then grabbed the tubes.  I had to work them out of her hands!!  LOL!
  • Yes.  I know she doesn't understand me right now but when she does it I say (in a nice voice, not angry)- "ouch, that hurts mommy!".

  • Yep...she would either grab a handful on each side and pull or grab up under my hair when I had it up and pull.  It's a wonder I have any hair left between that and the non-stop shedding.  Cutting it short really seemed to help with the hair pulling.  Not for everyone, but it's definitely saved my sanity.

    I made the  mistake of having hoop earrings in one morning.  Never again.

  • I have a hair puller too.  It's getting so bad that a few times DH has had to pry LO's hands open to get my hair out.
  • Oh yes, definitely. I wear my hair up 95% of the time and he'll pull from my temple.  Ouch!  If there is a way to discourage this I'd LOVE to hear.
  • Yes, and it huuuuurts!  She also grabs my pony tail and tries to eat it.
