15 month old is hurting me....help!!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Lately, my 15 month old son has become really physically aggresive. His older brother went through this to an extent, but never this bad. He's scratched me so bad that I have three big gouges in my cheek. He took a bowl and through it right at my chin yesterday. He'll come up behind me and bite me on the ankle, and pinches and pulls at me while nursing. He gets lots and lots of attention on a daily basis. I don't know what could be triggering this outburst, but I can't handle getting hurt anymore! How do you deal with aggresion like this? I want to be gentle, and model gentle behaviour for him, but so far that alone isn't working. HELP!

You can teach nursing manners. Kellymom.com is a great website and she has a section on toddler nursing. I would try to see if there is a pattern to when he scratches/hits and keep as many hard objects out of his reach as I could so they don't get thrown. I would make sure he's on a good eating/sleeping schedule as being tired or hungry can make aggressive behaviors worse. It will pass
