psycho baby?

Our lb is nearly 10 months and i honestly don’t know what to do. for the past few months he’s gotten so ‘aggressive’ pinching, squeezing, kicking slapping. it’s like we have a toddler… I cut his nails every 2/3 days to stop him being able to mark me but it’s not even enough anymore. my legs are covered in bruises from him scratching me or squeezing me, he’ll get a handful of my skin and just squeeze and turn it until i cry sometimes. and if i put him down he’ll just start grabbing my legs and screaming to be picked back up. it seems like all he does now is go out of his way to hurt me or find something new to do to hurt me 😭😭 do we think it’s just a phase or should i speak to someone about it

Try speak to the health visitor about it, have you had your 9-12 month review, my little boy is also a bit defiant at the moment, pinching and slapping even when told no, he laughs at me when I act like I cry 😭

My LB is 9 months, and he's recently been trying to bite, slap and scratch in defiance. Screeches when told no or moved from something he wants to touch but is not allowed to.

@Khaleda it’s terrible for us aswell! if we take something off him he’s not supposed to have he literally has toddler tantrums. he even gets himself up on something and starts stamping his feet… he head butted me so hard ten minutes ago he actually hurt himself from it😭😭😭 it’s making me feel like such a bad mother

Yeah it all sounds familiar to us as well!

@Africa i’m so sorry i missed your first message i just saw it now… the laughing when i cry out lb does aswell😩😩😩 at least i know im not alone anymore 😩

Don’t apologies girl, it nice for me to see it not behaviour issue that I should be too concern about. Seems like a phase xx

@Africa god i hope it’s just a phase😭 i don’t know how much longer i can mentally take this

At 10 months I don’t think it’s intentional, they are finding there hands and learning also I found with my daughter if I had a massive response she would do it all the more like a game she found funny x

This doesn't help but it is normal :(

My baby is hella abusive at night! She always wants to bite me and my husband!
