Rubbing face when eating

ccbmommy · Nov 10, 2008 12:19PM

Charlotte has developed a habit of rubbing her face with the back of her hand when i'm feeding her solids in her high chair. She normally rubs round her top lip & nose but sometimes it's her whole face. It can make feeding her very tough as her hand is always in the way and she ends up rubbing food everywhere. It's like she has an itch there all the time! My hv said it could be teething pain and she's rubbing round her mouth but I don't know what to think.

Any ideas? Has your lo done this?
Plus she is extremely grumpy today and I am at the end of my tether........!!!!
Bloody teething :x

Thought that might be the reason why.

It was my birthday in September too - the 10th - but I turned 33 - boo hoo! I look a lot younger though so everyone keeps reminding me.....!

My lo does this all the time, I hate it and it makes feeding time really stressful. No solutions for you huni, just letting you know it happens to us to. I agree it must be their teeth, poor wee munchkins, must be like us trying to eat with toothace, ouch !
