Battle scars from little munchkins

I promise my husband isn’t abusive…
…but my baby is.

My adorable bundle of terror finds joy in the following;

Attempting to rip my throat out
Ripping my hairs out - wigs, hair. No discrimination
Scratching me enough to make me look like a tigers scratching post
attemping to bite my n!pples off with his toothless gums

I love my little stinker but, seemingly, love hurts LOL

What sort of surprisingly bad battle scars have your little munchkins left you?

One of my DDs was a pincher. OUCH! She'd pinch me while nursing, I guess as a self-soothing thing.

Ouch! Bh my baby hasn’t discovered that yet. He’s definitely a scratcher though. And his nails grow to full length two seconds after you file them

Yummy DS punched me in the eye when we co-slept. Also dug his fingers into my neck a lot, clinging on to me. But bH worth it 😃

Ouch. lol yes the neck digging thing is so painful. Those are my deepest and most visible scratches. The worst is that he’s extremely cuddly and likes to wrap his hand around my neck and I know that there’s going to be a cost to having him hold me in that snuggly position

Weird title for this thread. I was expecting a story about how your husband do something abusive to your baby but you’re convincing yourself it wasn’t abusive because you don’t know how to deal with it. Opened the thread with such a heavy feeling.

title changed

Punching. scratching. One of my kids would suck on my neck and give me hickies . Digging their nails in. Kicking up my face while BF. Biting of course.
But it's not something I allowed. I'd always redirect their behaviour time and again until they soothed on something else. Like have a blanket and transfer their hand to it when I see she's going in for a pinch....

The pinching was the hardest imo. That hurt like hell!

I got too close to my DS's swinging fists and broke a blood vessel in my eye from his baby nails lol

Omigosh, I'm surprised my face isn't covered in scratches! It doesn't help that I hate cutting her nails with filer thingy. It gives me chills but she doesn't seem to mind.

My baby also likes to hook her fingers into my bottom lip and PUULLLLL. It hurts! She also recently learned how to pull off my earring. Ouch.

Why don't y'all cut your babys' nails with nail scissors?

I was told repeatedly not to cut baby’s nail because supposedly they grow back faster. Everyone says to file instead. TBH I’m not sure the nail knows the difference but I do as told

We were playing on the floor and he jumped up and accidentally elbowed me in the face. The genius at the front desk in the ER jokingly asked who punched me and was horrified when I answered that it was my son until I clarified that he was 2!
(He’s a teenager now without violent tendencies Wink

I have since started doing that. I had a pair of baby nail clippers before but the scissors are 1000% easier for me

And I'm scared of filing the finger. With a scissor you can see it go behind the nail (no clippers!)
