Okay…I have a bit of a problem with Hannah. After she started teething, she started going ‘beaver’ on her crib. After nearly having a panic attack, I discovered that beaver behavior among babies is common. What I found surprising was that no one has really come up with an effect rail cover…but that’s neither here or there.
I assumed that she would grow out of it once all her teeth came in. I was wrong. She quickly began to chew on everything, from shoes to books. Thankfully, that behavior seems to have waned, but now has been replaced by something worse: wall chewing.
Yes…wall chewing. After I covered up all her chewing spots on the crib, she began chewing the texture off the wall. I’ve resorted to pulling the crib about 6 inches away from the wall when she’s in it, but she’s going to be moving to a toddler bed soon. Then she will have free access to gnaw to her harts content. Has anyone else had to deal with this before? How in the heck do I get her to stop?
Hey there! I’m a new follower and I am enjoying your blog. Chewing the walls,huh? Don’t worry, they stop chewing eventually. At least that’s been my experience. My kiddos are 21, 19 and 15. No more chewing, except food. Two of them are boys. You may wish for the good ole days of wall-chewing!
I am looking for guests writers. I blog about life in general. Would you be interested?
