@aspyrelab: Did your baby ever bite? 👇 Every time a bite gets a reaction, your baby is learning one of the biggest lessons of early development, that their own actions can change the world around them. The mouth is also loaded with nerve endings, so it doubles as their first research lab for texture, shape and temperature 🧠 And once those first teeth start pushing through, biting down creates counter pressure that quietly eases the ache in swollen gums 🦷 🦷 Offer a chilled, not frozen, teether to soothe sore gums safely 🖐 Let them gnaw a clean finger when you are caught without a toy 🧸 Rotate a few textures so their mouth gets varied sensory input 😌 Keep your response calm and low key so a bite has less reason to repeat 🚫 Do not let it continue, gently move them away or redirect to something safe to chew What is your go to trick when the biting phase hits? 👇 Maximise your child's potential, starting from before they're born.
