I thought he would just pull the bandaids off, but he just leaves them on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-on-how-to-get-toddler-to-stop-biting-her-nails#post-1622565 Thu, 08 May 2014 19:36:58 +0000 chopsuey 1622565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pinkcupcake: DD stopped biting her toe nails, but she still bites her nails! (not as often though). Whenever I see her with her fingers in her mouth I tell her to take them out.<br /> HAven't really tried anything else! Can't put nail polish on her nails because she thinks it's fun to scrape the color off with her teeth.. :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-on-how-to-get-toddler-to-stop-biting-her-nails#post-1622548 Thu, 08 May 2014 19:34:52 +0000 pinkcupcake 1622548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahh bumping this - I'm dealing w/my 2yo chewing on her finger and toenails constantly. Sometime it even bleeds b/c she chews them down to the quick :( I've been putting a little bit of aloe (from an aloe plant) b/c it has a bitter taste, but that doesn't work all the time... anyone else have any other suggestions?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-on-how-to-get-toddler-to-stop-biting-her-nails#post-1368116 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 17:47:52 +0000 LuLu Mom 1368116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bit my nails well into my jr. high years, my mom tried everything. What ended up workign for me was manicures, if someone else painted htem I would leave them be to look pretty. Don't know if that would work with a toddler though! She also did the gross tasting fingernail polish, so when I bite them they tasted digusting, it was so gross I still remember it. I used to bite until they bleed so she was desperate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ideas-on-how-to-get-toddler-to-stop-biting-her-nails#post-1368109 Wed, 22 Jan 2014 17:45:13 +0000 chopsuey 1368109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD is killing me lately.<br /> She's been biting her fingernails AND toenails. :shocked: </p> <p>It's nice that I don't have to trim them. HAHA. :P but I really need to break her of this habit! </p>
