Over the last 2-3 weeks or so, 14mo DS has starting pinching me with alarming regularity.
I'm the only one he does this to; DH and grandparents are left alone and he doesn't seem to be attacking other children at nursery, or no complaints about it (as yet). He's also been biting just me-through clothes-but it flipping hurts. He is teething and never does this in anger so I'm hopeful that once the teething stops, the vampire act will too.
The pinching is really getting me down. He will look for any exposed skin (neck, arms, cheeks etc.) and will grab a chunk of skin d go to town. I'm quick to stop him-pulling his hand away, saying 'no' loudly and then stroking his face and saying 'no pinching mummy, touch gently') but it's not getting through.
He's not doing this when angry, or being removed from something, just whenever he's on my lap or being carried by me.
Any suggestions? He may be little, but he's got a strong pinch reflex!
