Biting

@Hannah yeah that’s how I handle it but my girl twin doesn’t seem to care, she knows not to bite as she will go to bite me and I say no don’t bite please and she stops but she bites her brother so fast I can’t stop her fast enough! 😫 Suppose it’s just another phase they have to go through. Yeah they’ve never been close since birth never wanted to sleep together or anything 😂
@Katie mine also didn't want to sleep together. 1 twin is covered in really obvious bite marks and bruises on his arms poor guy! My eldest had a short biting phase at this age too but got less of a reaction as he was only biting us. I hope my twins being more independent of each other will make school etc easier if they're not too clingy to each other.🤷🏻♀️
@Hannah not just mine then😂 yeah I’m hoping the same, mine don’t seem to miss eachother if anything they like the 1-1 time so I think it’ll be best for them to be split up in school 🫣 mine don’t even share a bedroom anymore.
@Claudia I think it depends. She bites me out of frustration if I’ve said no, or if she’s teething. But with her brother it’s more like opportunity, if he has his top off for example she will go to bite him! I always say no biting thank you but I feel like it goes in one ear out the other 😂
Oh I didn't mean to delete my comment! Sorry still new to the app!
Maybe it's a play thing? Could try to say let's hug not bite. As I say it's only what I read but if there's a no to a behaviour they suggest giving an example of a behaviour that would be appropriate
Oh don’t my are 15m and I have a 2 year old too my boy twin and the 2 year old all they do is fight it’s a nightmare 🤦🏻♀️
Mine are 18mo and exactly the same. I always just say "no thank you" in a way that doesn't give the biter lots of attention and make a big show of comforting the victim. I wouldn't worry about the twin bond, not all siblings are really close and some don't work it out til adulthood. Mine do a bit of chasing each other and giggle a lot when the other flicks his yoghurt at the wall but I wouldn't say there was any sort of special bond (yet?).
