Why did my baby bite me? That's what I used to ask myself, especially when it really hurt. But over time, I've learned to pause and ask something else instead. What is she trying to tell me? You see, my little one is still too young to talk. So when something feels wrong or uncomfortable, she shows it with her body. Sometimes, that means biting. Maybe her teeth hurt. Maybe she's overwhelmed. Maybe she just doesn't know how to say, Mom, I need help. I try not to get angry or shout. Instead, I gently hold her and say, Is your tooth bothering you, sweetheart? Let mommy help you feel better. At this age, our babies feel everything so deeply, but they don't have the words yet. So they cry, bite, or push, not because they're bad, but because they don't know what else to do. And as a mom, my job is to stay calm, to be the safe place she can come back to. Not perfect, just present. I remind myself every day. Beneath every big feeling is a little heart that just wants to be understood. And I'm here, learning to understand it, one small moment at a time.
