I think this happened at around 3 yr though. She doesn't like it when her finger nails get sharp, and that triggers her to try to peel it or pick at it more. Not sure what to suggest.. for us, I try to keep her nails trimmed short so she doesn't have the opportunity to peel or pick at it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-nail-biting#post-1133803 Sat, 05 Oct 2013 20:21:48 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1133803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD has always had her fingers in her mouth, but we're noticing that she's started to bite her nails down to the quick. I don't think she even realizes she's doing it. I can't figure out what triggers it either. I read it's common, but I want to see if anyone else had this? </p>
