Scratching /pinching /face grabbing

My boy does this as well 😅 think it's just developmentally appropriate and I'm sure they'll grow out of it 😂 I just usually distract him with something else like a toy and that usually stops him

My 8 month old does this so much. It’s a firm no for the glasses as I really cant see without them haha but I let her touch and grab my face if she’s being somewhat gentle.

For hair pulling I gently move her hands away from my hair and try my best to remember she doesn’t know it hurts like hell. I usually hold her hand, kiss it and guide it towards her comforter to encourage her to grab that instead. Sometimes works sometimes doesn’t!

I read somewhere the face touching is all about emotional connection, soothing, comfort and a way of showing love. They are feeling comfortable with you and wanting to explore you more. If they are grabbing and pulling rather than touching and patting it can be a sign of over tiredness. Don’t know how reliable my source is though. X

Oh yeah I got stabbed in the corner of my eyeball the other day and couldn’t open my eye the whole day because she hit my face. She was playing and it was an accident but they still don’t feel good haah!

My 8 month old does this. I read that it is their way of showing love for you. Touching/grabbing at us makes them feel safe 🥺 ❤️. The reason it is so aggressive is because they are still learning about controlling their hand properly.
