Did your toddler become clingy towards the end of your pregnancy

My 15 month old always wants to be under me more... cuddles, kisses, etc. Just want me to pick her up and sit and lay with me all the time. I have about 8 weeks left, so maybe she knows another baby is coming lol anyone else experienced this?

Biting and hitting

My 16 month old has started to bite and hit. I’ve noticed that if we react and engage, he’ll do it more. When we say no, he’ll keep doing it. Should we just ignore and hope this habit stops?
