Baby bitten again!

My LO is 11 months old and he attends nursery 2 days a week, yesterday I picked him up and he had been bitten for a second time and this time on his face!! I know these things happen but they said someone was right there it was just so quick but I just don’t believe it, how can you be watching a baby and let this happen! I really don’t know what to do 🥺

I personally know all of the people who look after him as I worked for the same nursery a few years ago, honestly I’m so heartbroken, Teddy is such a good boy, he never hurts anyone or snatches he just doesn’t deserve it ☹️

Stop it

Aww no poor baby!! You must be furious. I’m wondering if it’s the same baby doing it if so they need to be monitored especially around your baby. You’d think they would have been keeping an extra eye if it’s not the first time

well they told me it was a different child this time, but I just feel like they’re not telling me the truth! I work in a nursery so I know it’s hard but honestly twice now, I’m thinking how many more times will I get a call saying he’s been bitten again I can’t take it 😫😫

Aww this makes me so sad for him and you

honestly it breaks my heart! He loves nursery and I’m scared this is gonna put him off going because he’s always getting hurt 😞

Aww, hopefully it doesn't as he probably doesn't see the situation in the same way that we do as adults. Have you spoken with the nursery staff about it though?

ah thank you for that, seeing in that perspective makes me feel so much better actually 🥰 I did last time but they just sent me some biting policy they had which was a load of rubbish and very unhelpful!

If you're not happy make a formal complaint and ask to see the incident file. Do they have CCTV?

Be careful. This happened to a baby I know and it become infected and he’s now on antibiotics. Human bites are super dangerous x

thank you, luckily it hasn’t broken the skin but it’s so scary!!

hey, sorry to hear about what happened.. Hope it won't happen again. Just wondering what's that policy you're referring to? What's the nursery official rule about things like that?

it’s not much a policy just says about how they tell the biting child no and take them away from the situation and explain to them that biting hurts. Which doesn’t really work if it’s another baby who’s done it anyway?! I understand it’s a frustration thing but my baby has never bitten anyone!!

do they inform the parents of the biting child, too? I think this would be helpful, too.

yeah they do!

Injury at school

My poor boy got injured at school today. Face first on concrete. School handled it well. One of the staff went to the ER with him until we got there. Has a huge knot on his forehead and face swollen and scratched and bloody. Poor boy

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Circumcision question

So my son got circumcised before leaving the hospital he’s 3 days old and they told me the day after leaving to take it off which is today and just add a lot of Vaseline to the area to help it and when we took him to his pediatrician he told us to just keep adding Vaseline on top of the gauze and it’ll fall off on its own but now I’m worried that it’ll get stuck to his skin if it sits to long. What do you feel I should do

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Thoughts on this pram?

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and thinking of prams to get my baby. I saw this on Amazon and it seems affordable, plus the reviews are very positive about the quality of the product. Are there any mamas in the group that got this specific model? If so, how did you find it?

TBH

To be honest- I’m starting to hate that my husband gets to sleep peacefully , getting virtually uninterrupted sleep, while I’m being woken up every other moment by our 5 month old 🙃 I’m so so tired, my body hurts, and I have a little cold that won’t go away. My baby sleeps next to me and feeds on demand (it’s my fault, I know). I tried to regulate him without the boob, tonight, and he started crying. My husband tried to soothe him for less than a minute, but I took him back when I saw my husband was getting irritated by him crying. I ended up feeding him until he was mostly asleep, now he’s sleeping on my chest. I’m awake, I have to use the bathroom, and forgot to take my contacts out, and put nursing pads in, but I’m stuck. Meanwhile, my husband went back to sleep immediately 😮‍💨😤 how do people do this long term? 😩
