Baby bitten at nursery

I’m so sorry, I can only imagine how you’re feeling. I wouldn’t be happy, was both times by the same child or different child?

@Zoe thank you, and yes it’s awful. Yeah i’m definitely not happy and I need to clarify that with them - just can’t believe that it happened.

Once I would let slide, second time I wouldn’t be

@Emma-louise oh goodness I am sorry that does look sore. Yeah absolutely, I just think the child who did it obviously has done it before and didn’t just do it out of the blue. I’m just really upset

@Zoe yes I will be bringing this up to them, so awful :-(

Have a stern word and I’m sure it won’t happen again, good luck

My eldest was bitten three times in as many weeks by the same child at nursery, the first couple of times I let it slide as I know this is really common for some kids but the third time was on his cheek and I lost it, got really upset. The nursery brought in an extra member of staff to stay with the child one to one and ensured my little boy was kept away from the other child. It is awful but as long as the nursery are putting things in place and picking it up with the parent there's not a lot you can do x

@Lauren ohmygod I am sorry Lauren that sounds awful as well. On the cheek is not ok at all - I would have reacted the same way. I’m glad that they did that - I am going to ask them that too

Sadly this happens. My little boy has 6 teeth and teething his molars and bites his own hands and me sometimes, it wouldn’t surprise me if he did this to other kids at nursery as he doesn’t understand it hurts. It isn’t nice being on the giving or receiving end but is very common.

I must admit I was far from happy about it as the child is his good friend but the child's mum was very apologetic when she found out which made things better to know she knew and wasn't happy about it either The nursery really should have something in place especially if it's a reoccurring issue with the child
