Little boy (8m) is just too much ðŸ˜
Is anyone else’s baby just full of energy and is just GO GO GO from the second they open their eyes???
I feel so guilty writing this but I’m finding it very hard to deal with the constant pulling and slapping and screaming along with the scratching it’s just too much to handle I feel so on edge ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
I’m always gentle with him and tell him no pulling mummy , no hitting mummy but obviously I know he doesn’t know what he’s doing but I end up becoming so frustrated and touched out and don’t wanna be touched or near him but If I Leave the room for a second or move him away from me he’s screaming bloody murder he’s so clingy it’s hard to even catch a breath
Don’t even get me started on changing his clothes or nappy it’s WW3 I’m so fed up honestly

Yes! Same! My boy will not be still for even a moment. Nappy changes are a wrestling match. He’s trying to grab and reach for everything, then gets upset if I take something away from him (that’s definitely not a toy). He’s a contact napper too so it’s pretty intense. I think it’s so challenging to constantly have to be on the ball, not to mention over sensitised. X
Im the same, he’s so full of personality and I love it but at the same time I’m sick of being beaten up all day don’t even get me started on the hair pulling ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ he’s also started trying to bite me which I know is teething and he’s only a baby but it honestly feels me with rage lol
I'm sorry it's all like that, my little boy isn't like this. But some toys that keep him entertained for a good few minutes are: a spikey light up ball, TV remote, and an abacus, and plastic eggs!! He loves the plastic eggs so much.
He rolls during changing but I found giving him the pack of wet wipes to hold keeps him happy enough.
Biting, hair pulling and scratching are alot tougher. But I was advised by my nursery nurse to not use the word no. Not because it's negative but because they don't understand the concept of No so they will associate it with part of the game their playing.
As hard as it is, you need to ignore or or try and stop them doing it with very dull actions. So just a straight face, showing little emotion.
Ive don't it for a few days now and the hair pulling already alot less
Unfortunately not just a boy thing 😬 my baby girl is the same.
My little girl is the same - total bloody hooligan. Clothes on or off is a fate worse than death apparently, and I’m beaten up on a daily basis. For some reason I hadn’t contemplated the unintentional violence doled out by babies, but they’re just all limbs and no control. I’ve started saying no and gently holding her hands when she is a bit rough and she’s beginning to understand it I think, up to a point.
My girl is the same. She’s like the Duracell bunny from the minute her eyes open and it’s exhausting. I regularly throughout the day will leave her to play in her playpen or pop her in the jumperoo to give myself 5 minutes. We go on lots of walks too for my sanity and it keeps her entertained. She tries to escape when I’m changing her, I have to put my legs either side so she can’t roll away and get everything ready before she gets on the mat. The hitting and pulling etc is so hard, I struggle with this too. I’m telling her no, and kind hands/hands aren’t for hitting. She may not understand yet but at some point she will.
