Guest guest Posted April 2, 2002 Report Share Posted April 2, 2002 Dane is the world's sweetest baby - except for one thing. He pinches everyone. Those little fingers do more damage than any adult could! Does anyone know something I can do to stop this? He doesn't realize he is doing it. When I react he gets upset and sticks his lip out and cries. His poor feelings get hurt. I know he isn't trying to be mean, but man, it hurts! He is 6 months old. Our daughter never did this. I hope she doesn't pick it up from him! Thanks Rach Dane's mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 3, 2002 Report Share Posted April 3, 2002 , I never went through pinching, but all of my kids went through a phase where they would bite while nursing. The only advice that I can offer is, when he pinches you or anyone else, pick his hand up and very gently, but sternly so he knows you mean business, say 'No'. You don't want to be too loud or make any sudden movements because that will frighten him and make him cry. It may take awhile for him to associate what you are saying NO to, but he will catch on.
