My daughter is biting herself?

I found that my daughter did this because she was having eczema issues on her hands and wrists. Could she have had an allergic reaction to any of the candy yesterday? Also my daughter did this when she was stressed from me being pregnant with her brother or from me being stressed. I learned to stop talking about some things around her, sing more songs, take her outside more often, give her more things to do.

Did she use a pacifier in the past? My daughter did, and I do think that the freedom of being able to chew the pacifier without pain was a way for her to relieve stress, like grinding teeth for some people or chewing gum. She's unlikely to hurt herself, but with my daughter's sensitivities we had all sorts of scabs and it looked awful for a while. In the end, getting her past the teething, giving her more stress relief outlets, an itch cream, her chewing on one of her toys (this was when she was past 2 and we had gotten rid of all the pacifiers because she seemed to move on from them) and then patience seemed to resolve it. She's 4 now and hardly ever chews on herself, but sometimes when she's had a stressful day she still goes back to it.

Try giving her a few rough teething earrings or teething toys. Biting their fingers is a typical response to teething, it is helping with exact reducing of the tooth by way of the gums. She's usually nonetheless teething and is watching for a few method to relieve the want to chew down on some thing I bought this as a small reward from my doula, my youngsters have cherished it ( wasn't anticipating it both), it is only a small blanket with teething tabs at the facets. If she's into the blanket factor, possibly she'll go over with some thing like this. Might I additionally propose one other procedure I've used with my youngsters which used to be giving them frozen waffles whilst their tooth have been rather bothering them. It works good in supplying a exceptional rough floor to chew on at the same time numbing the gums from being frozen. I made do-it-yourself one's and iced over them, they are able to even be toasted and used for snacks or convenient breakfast. Good success.

uh oh...this sounds serious..it almost sounds like she is a 17 month old baby!!! lol just messin around! she sounds completely normal :) i would say as long as she isnt biting others or drawing blood just let this run its course...my little girl went through a pinch her mommy stage when she was about a year old...i would suggest not giving her attention when she does it just sit her down in the floor and ignore her until she stops doing it..its just a means of attention (as im sure you know :) )...when she is all done having her fit pick her up and tell her..mommy loves you and you do not have to do that for my attention. then go on like usual. i am sure she will out grow it very soon :) best of luck!
