Question
my baby has started biting. when she is just running
around on me she will bite my rings, bracelets, my
belly button ring, my fingers, wrists, anything. she is
just biting biting biting, almost like a baby when they
are teething. is this normal?

Answer
Totally Normal..!! Depending on age.. but you stated that she is a wee little one.. so YES that type of behavior is very normal as they are developing their curiosities and testing out all of their environment.. I imagine those bits of jewelry are shiny and shimmery making it irresistible to her.. lol

I tap my babies in the nose when they bite the skin.. of course it helps to NOT jump or act alarmed.. which is hard not to do right..!! lol

anyways.. she is normal.. you can try diverting her attentions.. and you are also welcome to read thru my previous articles if you are still having issues down the line.. I cover a lot of biting questions..

Thanks & Have a SAFE Holiday Season..!!
