Biting?

Is it normal for my 8 month old to crawl over to me stuff his head into me and then bite me? He bites me all the time and sometimes it really hurts especially if sat on the floor with him, he has 4 top teeth and 2 bottom teeth and he seems to find it funny but it kills!!! 🤣😭

Biting at nursery

Would you be ok with staff at nursery having a “stern” word with your child abbot biting followed by time out. I am not saying it’s wrong - I don’t know how to feel tbh so reaching out to ask what other Mums would feel. Please be kind with answers im just curious. And I am aware of the other parties feelings. Thanks.

2 year old and 3.5 year old

Omg, my toddlers are honestly testing my will to live daily. I feel like pulling my hair out constantly! Bring me back to a toddler and newborn stage! I love those munchkins to bits, but, goodness gracious, how do/did you stay sane when it feels like mission impossible? That's it. That's the post. Thank you!

Cutting nails

Does anyone else have a super fidgety and squirmy baby who absolutely hates getting their nails filed/cut? If she’s awake mine pulls her hands/bends fingers every two seconds and toes are near impossible.

18 month not speaking

Hi ladies, Just wanted to see if anyone else has an 18 month old who still isn’t speaking. Our nursery have said it’s nothing to worry about and because he communicates and understands non verbally then he is on track, but it’s still niggling at me whether to let the HV know in case he needs a referral. He is babbli...
