I am really struggling with my daughter keeping her fingers out of her mouth. When she is watching a dvd or when Im readint to her she is constantly biting her nails and all her cuticles are getting sore. Im always telling her to stop putting her fingers in her mouth and she then starts getting stroppy with me! Any advice gratefully recieved.

Just a little will do ya!! I am sending this precaution only because we did a similar thing with my son and his lips swelled up from it. Maybe a small skin test to be sure she is not allergic to it. Best wishes

try putting clear nail polish mixed with a bit of tabasco that should help for a while until she gets used to the taste
