I've noticed that dd(28months) has been biting her nails. It's been since her baby sister's birth 7 weeks ago. I'm not familiar with this as a nervous habit, but I'm guessing it's related to the new stress in her life. She's an otherwise fearless bouncy bright and easygoing healthy toddler.

How do I gently get her to stop?! TIA!

I've been meaning to come post a similar thing! My DS started biting his nails about 2 months ago, and he bites them ALL, all the way down! It has kind of been nice to not have to cut his nails.
