Pregnancy Info HOME

wow. no answers on any of my posts! This forum sure has dried up.....

I had the same problems with my l/o starting around 8 months. I think a lot of it has to do with their development and they are getting to the age where they think they are missing out on something by going to sleep before mom does. Also My oldest had a lot of problems with teething around that age, even though it didn't seem like she was in pain she would cry everytime I put hr down in her crib but would be fine when I got her out, it was because she was in pain though. She may be able to underdstand the word NO but the only way to get her to understand is to say it clearly with eye contact and remove her from the area. I hope this helps a bit, GL!

Thanks Crystal :) She had her other top tooth come through today, so I think you're right on the teething issue.

I would tell her say "no that hurts" like you say. Make sure your voice is stern so she at least senses what mood your in and that you disapprove. My dd was always rough as a young toddler too, but she is finally getting better now at almost 20 months. And just fyi, I think toddler is when a baby begins walking (thus the name.. toddler). That is my opinion.
