LO bit another baby :(

in April 2011 Moms

So today at playgroup we were visiting with a friend and her son, who is only 2 weeks younger than Quinn. I wasnt really paying attention because they usually play so nice together. Quinn kinda leaned over, and then suddenly the other boy starts crying. My friend says "oh he bit his cheek!" and scoops up her baby to snuggle him. Luckily she was laughing it off and was not mad at all, and then joked about it later on (Her SIL is my best and oldest friend)

But I feel TERRIBLE! Quinn loves to give kisses and so when I saw him lean I didnt even worry. I dont know why he would do that. I totally get that at this age they dont really know what they are doing when they pinch or bite, but it makes me feel bad all the same. I never thought we would have this particular thing come up so early!

    DS bites, pinches, and slaps everyone.  I know there is nothing I can do at this stage except warn people.  I do try to redirect so he will pinch or bite himself once in a while so maybe he will learn that it hurts, but I think he is just too young to understand any consequences (we are talking about a kid that slams his face into the floor when he is frustrated).

    I really don't think it's malicious at this age. DD likes to give big kisses, and she doesn't realize she has teeth. She chomps down on me here and there.

    I have started saying "ouch!" and putting her down, because we're getting to the point where she should be able to make the connection. But I honestly believe there is no intent to cause pain, she just doesn't know better. 

    This exactly. He always nuzzles into my shoulder, and I have felt a bite a couple times. I say "ouch" and put him down. I can understand you feeling bad about it, I would feel the same way!

    Haha that is a super funny way of looking at it nugget! I'm not very surprised I have "The Biter" since that was me when I was little  Wink

     Thanks Ladies, I know he didnt mean to hurt him, but I just felt bad like I should have caught it.  Each thing is new with the first baby!

    I was a biter. My mom said when I was mad I'd bite my brother and I was definitely old enough to know better. Dean's a scratcher. No matter how short I keep his nails he finds one little sharp edge to slash at me with!!
