I feel a bit daft writing this as DD is so young but it's driving me round the twist.
DD2 is just over 6mo and was extremely large at birth (>10lb). She's always been very loud (I had tinnitus for a few months because of the pitch of her screaming). She's very strong and prefers to be held in a standing position or held upright and always seems to have flailing arms and just generally goes for people's faces.
When I feed her, she always manages to grab the skin on the underside of my arm, pinch it and twist it - got several bruises now. Same goes for throat - grab, pinch, twist, which is agony.
I've been poorly in bed today and most of the time she's been lying beside me. I've been kicked repeatedly, bitten in the face (she has one tooth at mo) and then just now head butted really hard which really upset me as I've got a splitting headache anyway.
Despite this, she's generally smiley and very sociable but she's just so rough!
Anyone else had a baby like this? I'm a bit flummoxed as DD1 was so placid
