Yes - it's called hormones. LOL

Happens as soon as the infant is delivered and progresses as the bond grows.

I've gone through a gamut of frustration with my toddler.

Beginning with dreadful cradle cap... Boy, I'd never seen anything like it. Not only was is caked right over her scalp, but it was down her face and everywhere. I took the responsibility of clearing it up (they can forensically test the infant brush I used - I still have it!!) - but the carer at the time gloated that it was all her doing to clear it up.

Yeah - right... Whatever.

Then there was the emotional digging at herself my toddler did... If you think an infant can't self harm - think again!!!

Biting her hands and scratching at herself all over the place.

Her injuries on her feet and ankles and all the painful sores from scratching stopped her from learning to crawl.

Ha! Within 3 days of being home not only was her skin totally healed, but she was scooting right around the house with no drama at all.
