I have an 11month dd and am very friendly with another lady I met at NCT who also has a 11month ds. We see each other a lot so the babies know each other very well and are always pleased to see each other.
The trouble is my friends ds pulls my dd's hair and is now starting to bang toys against her head and pulls himself up holding on to her. I'm sure its all affectionate and he doesn't know what he's doing, but its starting to bother me as she gets upset obviously as the hair pulling and toy banging is painful!
He is also a lot stronger than her and takes all the toys away from her that she's playing with. She just sits there and doesn't have the strength to steal them back.
My friend does tell her ds not to do these things, but you can't keep an eye on them all the time and I get paranoid from watching his every move.
My dh is worried that it will knock her confidence if this continues and we don't want this to affect how she interacts with other children.
Anyone got any advice on what I can do as I still want to see my friend regularly.
