Stop pulling my hair!

[seamonster]

I now understand the mom cut. Anything to keep your baby from pulling your hair out. It's already been falling out in clumps, so I don't need tiny baby hands to help. DS is worst when he's nursing, but likes to grab it whenever I hold him. Super frustrating when I'm rocking him or trying to soothe him. He'll also grab my face and flail his free arm while nursing.

Anyone else being assaulted by their infant?

[hollydfromtn]

Oh my gosh, yes! I try and keep it pulled back as much as possible. Now he has taken to grabbing my ears when he can't get to my hair. These tiny humans are strong too!

[lotsofdotts]

Brady pulls my hair, face, ears, glasses, whatever he can reach.

[lilyelayne]

I've got short hair, but DS goes crazy when he gets access to long hair. Sometimes he'll get his hands in mine and ouch! it hurts! I try to get him to let go and tell him no, but I don't know when that'll actually become effective

[hollydfromtn]

Oh and S really loves pulling DH's beard too. Last night he had his toes and hands in it at the same time while H was trying to blow on his tummy. It was pretty funny. I fully expect to come home to a clean shaven husband tomorrow night.

[aggiebug]

Haha DD is vicious with the hands. I have fairly short hair, but she has managed to pull out clumps of hair using her toes no joke.

[maryxc1]

Yes, very much! Also, if my bra strap is exposed when i am nursing, she likes to pull it as far back as she can and pop it against me...over and over and over. Annoying and painful!

[osumegs]

Oh yeah. Hair, bra straps, eye lids, nose...you name it , she yanks it.

[GeekBeagle]

Yep, part of the reason why I cut my hair.

[mommadozer]

DS pulls so hard on my hair. I even have my hair pulled back and he started pulling my fine baby hair under my pony tail and that hurt even worse

[lotsofdotts]

Brady has started pinching me. He grabs and pinched my arms when he is sitting in a high chair in a restaurant. It really hurts!

[boxerrrmama85]

Yes yes and yes... I currently have a scratch on my nose from a free flailing arm. She also sticks her hands in my mouth when nursing and YANKS! ouch! As for my hair it's always pulled back.

[somebirdswalk]

Oh yes, and the scratching and clawing at my gums. He should not go into dentistry, he has no finesse! Got a finger squarely up my nose today! No prizes though.

[Mom2Ms]

Yes! And my hair is also coming out in clumps. It's so depressing. I don't wash my hair near as much, because I hate the visual of it coming out. I'm getting my hair cut on Wednesday & highly considering chopping it off and my hair is in the middle of my back.

I'm also in the getting slapped club. I'm also fish hooked, kicked, lips grabbed, and nose grabbed. The only other people he slaps are those who get to close to me when I'm holding him....

[jensoprano82]

I keep teasing my H that DS probably thinks of me as "tired lady in ponytail". If only those angry flailing fingers weren't so sticky!

[WittyLittle]

hahaha I love the word assaulted. But yes
I had to cut off my boob length hair when Jake was 2 months. I already had thyroiditis so my hair was falling out like CRAZY, and him pulling at it was giving me bald spots :S
I also regularly get kicked in the stomach, clawed in the face, jammed up the nose, my gums scratched (seriously, this kid won't drink his last bottle without his hand in MY mouth. Weird!
I Heard it only gets worse in toddlerhood!

[lilyelayne]

+1 for baby's hand in my mouth while he's having a milk feeding

[michelle142]

I keep my hair pulled back when Dd is within grabby distance.

[michelle142]

You know what's amusing? When she gets a handful of DH's leg hair. He squeals like a little girl lol

[toadandbuggie]

DS has taken to digging his nails into my skin and twisting them. I have little baby bruises on my chest from him grabbing my skin and sinking his nails in. F'ing hurts kid!

[cloe111479]

She goes for mine all the time. But... Dh has it worse. She always pulls his beard hair and yanks... Hard. Like pulled some out.

[kartish]

I chopped my hair off when he first started grabbing it. I have a soft head and it brought tears to my eyes. I have cuts on my nose and bruises on my arms from him pinching me. I know he doesn't realize what he is doing but ouch baby!

[Mom2Ms]

Oh. I forgot about the titty twisters that DS gives me with his baby talons.

[emilyz320]

Dd looooves to pinch the fat under my neck and behind my arms. She also loves to slap daddy's belly. No hiding our chunk over here lol.

Haha! Brady grabs DH's chest hair and he screams. It makes me giggle.

[flyster]

ugh, ds also likes rhythmically kicking me while nursing. he gets my free arm.

[seamonster]

He's added kicking me and pushing with his leg on my face or chest for leverage to the nursing abuse. He gave DH a titty twister and grabbed some chest hair, but DH has been largely spared.

I totally get the leverage comment! DS contorts not only himself but my boobs too, just for the right position.... It hurts sometimes! And he leaves bruises on my legs from the kicking!

I know I'm days behind on some of these threads but I've started wearing the silicone teething neclaces all the time now. It gives them something to grab and chew on constantly, which helps with the grabbing and pinching of hair and other body parts. Plus they are kind of fashionable? Or so I tell myself.

link me up! never heard of this but it sounds awesome!!!
