I Bit My Baby In My Sleep

by Anonymous
(TX)

It was the scariest thing. I woke up because he was crying and instantly knew I was biting him. And remembered that I was biting down hard..I was fighting someone off, in a nightmare..and the one time I let my baby sleep in.my bed, in.my arms, I bit his little face..I felt horrible.. I still feel bad.


I can't ever let him sleep in my bed again, and I'm scared to even cuddle n nap with him..I was very sleep deprived for about 2 weeks. And strangely woke up somewhat refreshed that morning, aside from feeling complete guilt and like a horrible mother..I pray this never happens again, to myself or anyone else.

I bit my little girl last night as I was asleep dreaming, I had a dream that I was fighting someone off me and I bit their finger but in real life i bit my daughters leg!! I feel so bad I honestly feel horrible.. She hasn't said anything about it and she's only 3 but when I put her in bed today she said she wanted to sleep in her room and although that's safer I was so upset that she didn't want to sleep with me anymore and that she might be scared of me.. She's been fine with me all throughout the day though.. Maybe she thinks it was the bed? But usually she'd never go and sleep in her own room she always likes to be with me šŸ˜¢šŸ˜¢

 My little boy bit me while asleep NEW
by: Anonymous

My little boy bit me on the back last night, when he was sleeping, I woke up startled, the pain felt like I'd just had an electric shock, he must have realised straight away what had happened as he's head was in his hands, he was sad ā˜¹ļø & felt so bad about it , I asked him what he was dreaming about & apparently he was fighting with his little sister šŸ˜©, must admit I'm a little worried letting him in bed with me again

I bit my child too when I was asleep last night and literally questioned if I was possessed :( dreamt a nasty big man was trying to sexually assault me and had his arms around me, my first instinct being to bite and try to get away.

Woke up and realized I bit my baby's arm so hard and literally wanted to jump out of a window I felt so bad. I would never hurt my precious child and I feel like I should tie myself to a couch and stay away during the night so it never happens again :(

 Feeling like the worst mom ever NEW
by: Anonymous

I did this last night. I bring my 3 mo old daughter in to bed to sleep with me after the 4:30 feeding. I was having a horrible nightmare that someone was trying to kill me and my husband. I tried to warn my husband (in the dream) and the killer clamped his hand over my mouth. So I bit - my daughter's face šŸ˜¢. I left a mark on her face, and cried for hours. I don't know if I'll ever be able to forgive myself or trust myself sleeping with her again.

 I just did that same thing NEW
by: Daisy

I was trying to fight this old lady. She was coming right at my face and her face was screaming at my face, so I tried biting her off but I almost bite my sons nose. He was crying so hard but it didn't leave any mark on him. He probably was scared. I cried and feel so terrible like I don't know how to describe. My husband told me to put my face away from him while I'm sleeping

 Biting in my sleep NEW
by: Anonymous

Im furiously hunting the internet for examples of this ever happening to anybody else as last night at 4 am I was having a dream about bitin! Its still a vivid dream about biting someones arm. Woke up and my 3 year old is crying and I just knew id bitten him. He has a mark on his arm and Im feeling awful. Can't believe Ive done it. I ran into my husband in panic and horror and he calmed me down but can't get it out my heaf!!!!

Hes going to the childminders tomorrow and Im worried she sees it and questions it. I think the explanation is so ridicolous its unbelievable. She could phone social work but not saying anything is not good either!!

 I thought it was just me NEW
by: Anonymous

So relieved to know it's not just me! I was having a nightmare that my elderly father had a break with reality and he was trying to drive away with my 1.5yo (who is a brown haired boy but in the dream was a blonde 5yo girl) and he was sooo angry at me for some reason. And I was trying to get my child out of the car seat and somehow dad was stopping me, had his hand on the baby and foot on the brake and was in reverse. And every time I'd let go of him to undo the car seat belt, he'd let his foot off the brake and the car would roll back. And I kept yelling at him and grabbing his shirt and twisting it on his chest when he'd do it, which would make him stop, until finally he got so mad at me doing that that he just let his foot off and I grabbed the only piece of him I could, his hand, and started to bite as hard as I could and as I did I woke up realizing I was biting my boys forehead and started crying and kissing him while he whimpered and then nursed him back to sleep. I'm so ashamed and scared to sleep with him again but he's slept with me since he was born and we napped okay earlier. I told my husband he'd bumped his head on the bed frame when we slept. He's got two red lines on his forehead just below the hairline, like two exclamation points and every time I look at his poor little face I just want someone to do the same to me. šŸ˜“šŸ˜“

 Stop feeling guilty NEW
by: Anonymous

For the first time ever with any of my children I bit my 1 month old on his eyebrow eye area during a nightmare,I'm not sure how hard I bit but it's red and a little swollen. The guilt I feel is ther and yes I feel horrible but we can't beat our selves up about something we did in our SLEEP.It happened once,dies that mean it will happen again? No, I don't believe it will because subconsciously it will be in our minds at all times now. As moms we end up feeling horrible about everything especially if we have a bad dream something happens to our children,they get sick,etc. Think of it this way, as soon as your little one has teeth they'll get you back eventually :) If they already have teeth you're going to get bit eventually anyway. Everyone stop letting guilt eat at you, it sucks but blow it off, you guys can laugh about it when the child is older! Things are going to happen and you can't beat yourself up about EVERYTHING,especially the things we feels society pressures us too feel guilt about as mothers. Enjoy your children and laugh this off, if you heard your friend tell you that happened you probably giggle a little yourself :)

 I hope I didn't break his finger NEW
by: Anonymous

My son -- 2 weeks old -- was sleeping on my chest. His fingers must have been in my face and I dreamed someone was attacking me. I bit down as hard as I could so I could "identify the attacker tomorrow". Now I hope he doesn't lose the usage of one of his fingers forever. I can't find any bite mark, though. I wonder if being in a dream impedes your ability to bite down hard. I hope so. I feel absolutely terrible. He cried and cried. His mother nursed him and now he is sleeping, but I just hope he is alright in the long term.

 I bit my child in a nightmare and I'm terrified NEW
by: Anonymous

It's 4am and this just happened to me, I can't stop stop shaking. My youngest daughter, age 3, was asleep next to me and I was dreaming I was also being attacked and I lunged forward to bite the attacker. I woke to the feeling of my teeth on skin and my daughter crying. I was terrified and heartbroken - how terrified she felt, how confusing and in pain. I don't know what to say to her. I have three children, my oldest is 11, and nothing like this has ever happened before, I don't know what to do. Right now I am beyond grateful for this discussion because I was beside myself until I started reading.

 This also happened to me this morning :'( !!! NEW
by: Anonymous

My daughter was asleep on my side while we laid down on our king size bed after nursing and I had a dream that I was in an argument with my brother and I went to bite him and my daughters hand must have been near my face because as I lunged forward to bite my brother in my dream I had also done so in real life and bit my daughters finger! I immediately awoke to my daughters screams and I was histeric and without words as my husband came running into the room I just cried and gave her to him saying omg I bit her in my sleep! I told him I thought I was biting my brother in my dream but bit her instead in real life! We have been putting her teething rings on her finger all day off and on to help with swelling, and to also help with the pain. This is the worst feeling that no mom should ever have to experience! I now have her sleeping in her crib alone tonight and she is 4 months old. The first time she will be sleeping in there through the night as she sleeps on my chest. It's safer now anyways since she is getting older and is starting to want to roll. I had plans on transitioning her to sleep in there, I just wish it had not been this way. I am just so thankful that I did not break her finger! It is bruised, and we put socks on her hands to immobilize usage and she kept trying to hold her tiny finger :'( honestly ladies this was the worst day for me so far as a mom! I can't sleep and keep thinking about it. I know it was an accident but I feel horrible! Wouldn't wish this on any child.. but it is comforting to know that I am not alone.

Glad I stumbled upon this and now I don't feel like such a monster. This happened about 2 to 3 years ago. I was having a dream that my older sister and I were having a crazy fight, and I went to bite her arm and it was really my toddler's arm. I felt so fucking horrible and haven't told anyone to date for fear of them thinking I'm crazy or something. It was 100% involuntary but it's so hard not to beat myself up about it. This was refreshing to know it happens.

A few nights ago I woke up to one of my 7 week old twin daughters screaming in my arms. I was dreaming that some guy was squeezing all the pressure points in my hands and I couldn't use them so I went to bite what I thought was his shoulder. When I woke up, I thought I bit my 2 1/2 year old son or husband in the shoulder till I quickly realized it was my infants soft head. She calmed down quickly and saw that it left a tiny mark that went away quickly. Still scary tho! Glad I googled this and found I'm not the only one lol.

 i bit my baby NEW
by: Anonymous

I woke up to me biting my daughters face and cant even remember what i was dreaming about just her crying so bad. I feel horrible but just remember ladies its from sleep deprivation and you cant beat your self up about something you did in your sleep! Its happened to so many of us its crazy but makes me feel so much better im not just some physco mummy its obviously a natural instinct to bite which is kinda scary to think about maybe we really are all apes. Don't stress mummas we are all doing the best we can and sometimes we cant help things that happen. This is something that should be kept out in the open and talked about because as you can see its a regular thing but youve never heard of it! Warn your other mummys and try not to co sleep as hard as it is.

 Hard bite NEW
by: Anonymous

I just did this last night around 3:30 am, in my dream my dh was trolling me by keeping me from our baby and I just lost it and bit him as he had my arms restrained. The second my teeth felt flesh I snapped awake. I know it was a savage almost animal bite and the strength was confirmed by her screams. She didn't even sound human as she cried uncontrollably for 5 minutes and whimpered all night I her sleep. I don't know if I bit her belly or arm but I am so sick to my stomach, all day I am watching her terrified I really hurt or maimed her. Dh says she's acting fine and not to worry but I can't even look her in the eye I am so terrified and ashamed even thoughbut was an accident.

 Bit my daughter's head in my sleep NEW
by: Mom x4

Last night I went to bed late and was super tired. When I went to bed, my 8 yr old daughter was in our bed. I moved her back to her bed...ad twice during the night she got back in our bed. I moved her once and my husband moved her once. Apparently, she got BACK in our bed...pushing me to the middle with her in front of me (she was on the outside of the mattress facing outward). I didn't even realize she was in the bed. Five minutes before the alarm clock was to go off, I was dreaming that I was fighting off a predator and I went to bite him. I remember biting something...and then my daughter yelled out "stop biting my head Mom!" I woke up and was so shook up that I had done this. Thankfully she was okay...and thought it was a funny story to tell her friends at school. (I feel like a bad Mom and now the whole world will know) Glad to know I'm not the only one who's had this bizarre thing take place but....now I'm worried that I could do something like this again. My husband said maybe we could lock our door to keep her out but....I feel bad doing that too! Hoping this never happens again!!!

It is 1:30 in the morning and I'm scares to go back to sleep for the remaining 3 hours before I have to be up for work. I don't remember all of my dream but I remember grabbing the person in my dreams arm and biting down hard. Next thing I know my 5 year old special needs daughter wakes up screaming and crying. I bit her. This has never happened. She has always slept with me due to her separation anxiety and that's the way she can only sleep, by having physical contact. I'm so scared to go back to sleep now. I don't want to hurt her. I have been sick with a stomach bug and haven't been eating and I have been sleeping alot. I just don't understand how this happened?

My son was asleep on my chest on his back and I had a dream that I was being attacked by someone drunk so I bit him in the arm. I woke up to my 3 month old son hysterically crying and i realized i bit the top of my sons head his hair was all wet. I cut into his skin a tiny bit and he bruised up. I feel like the worst mother ever!!! I can't trust to sleep with him but that's the only way he can sleep. I can't tell my boyfriend he will kill me. He's all happy now.

Strangely after reading comments this happened to me at 4am too, is it related? I was having a nightmare about something really ridiculous though!! This old pirate was sailing away and turned into a massive squid like creature. It kept getting bigger and bigger with layers and it was going to eat my son!! So I ran up to the top of its head and bit down hard so I could kill it - turned out I bit my sonā€™s thumb!! I felt his fingers going into my mouth, I even heard the crunch and he woke up screaming!!! I checked his thumb and kept saying Iā€™m sorry to him and he was saying "mummy you bite my fingers!!!" Heā€™s almost 4 but always comes into my bed in the middle of the night. Iā€™m feeling so incredibly guilty and scared Iā€™ll do it again or worse!!

I woke up to his screaming and see his skin almost peeling. I feel like a horrible mother and Iā€™m a first time mother. I canā€™t let him go and I wonā€™t stop crying

I thought I was crazy but I'm glad to see that I'm not alone. I'm surprised he even trusts me enough to let me sleep up against his back anymore.

I felt insane! I was having some kind of dream where I was fighting someone off. We co-sleep and my baby and I were face to face. I bit the person in my dream but woke up immediately to my babyā€™s screaming and crying. I was so disoriented when it happened I didnā€™t know where or how I bit him. I jumped out of bed with him and took him to the bathroom so I could see where I bit him. I noticed blood on my chest so I ran back in my room and woke my husband up while bawling my eyes out and was frantically trying to find where I bit him. My husband swore it was just a bad dream and that it was a coincidence that I dreamt of biting when he started crying. We couldnā€™t find any bite mark, but his little nose was so red and irritated. Thankfully I bit through a blanket so no serious harm was done, just a bloody nose and a scare. I feel so guilty, and feel like a threat to him. I read that rem sleep disorder is a side affect of my new medication, but safe to say we wonā€™t be co-sleeping anymore.

I feel freaked out as last night was dreaming someone was attacking me and woke up to my 15 month old crying as I had bitten down on the tip of his finger while I was asleep next to him. I immediately picked him up and rocked him but feeling terrible about it. He has a little red mark on the skin of his finger but otherwise he is fine. Iā€™m still very shook up about it, have only told my parents. My mom says sheā€™s never heard of anything like that happening before.

 Worst nap ever

I am so glad I found this forum. I have been sick with a stomach bug and I went to sleep with my 8 month old in my arms. In my dream my partner kept doing silly things with my phone and his finger was curled and I bit down on his finger, woke up to my poor baby screaming and could immediately see I had bitten her cheek. I feel so awful! But reading these stories made me laugh and feel not alone. There is a little mark but she is ok and laughing and playing as normal.

 I,'m not alone
by: Anonymous

Lots of mommys having the same reaction after a nightmare. Just happened with me. Thats why I'm here. I felt terrified and horrible mom, sorry for my forehead's 4my baby. But after reading so many mums in the same situation, I feel sorry for ourselves. We arent bad mom, but the society says we have to be the perfect and we agent. Never ever conscientious I could bite my baby. But it happened and makes me feel sick. My question is... what next?
Can it happen again?
How to sleep safe with him again?
Should I get help somehow with the GP or health visitor?
Or they can make a note as me putting my baby in dangerous?
Well, I never would hurt him and even. I did it.
Its hard ans its ends with so many questions.
I'm not alone, you arent alone.

I am going through a nasty child custody case with my daughters father. Last night I dreamt he was attacking me and I was screaming and yelling and bit him very very hard. As soon as my teeth bit down into my daughters hand I woke up. She started crying but I didnā€™t see any marks and checked her hands for over an hour and couldnā€™t sleep after this. Now I feel like a shitty mom and wonder if she should even sleep with me anymore.

I had a dream my boyfriend was strangling me and my first reaction was to bite him to hopefully get him off of me. As I was putting my teeth down, It seemed so real.. 3 seconds later as I bit semi hard in my dreams my daughter started crying like crazy. I BIT HER HEAD!!!!! She was sleeping right next to me. I feel like such a piece of crap.. My poor sweetie.. It even left a mark :( and shes 3 month old. This has NEVER EVER happened to me and out of the ordinary this one time it does?? makes no sense.

 My daughter was taken from me NEW
by: Anonymous

My baby girl was six months old and her dad had physically assaulted me. I moved out and was staying up late preparing for court for custody.

I had a nightmare that he was assaulting me again and poking me in my arm over and over and I bit him in my dream and I woke up to my daughter screaming. I had bit her on her arm. The next morning I had to give her to him because it was his day to have her and I was hysterical but went into autopilot and brought her to him and told him what happened and then went to work. He called the police and went straight to the hospital and had her forensically tested (which was a very invasive procedure).

Social services was called and I was charged with assault and battery of a family member against my six month old baby. I was breast-feeding. She was taken away from me for 10 weeks. After two full years of fighting I finally got primary custody of my baby girl. It was hell on earth and I pray no one would ever have to go through this ever.

 Wow though I was the only one for 9 years
by: Anonymous

Hi was still in hospital with my newbord when she lied next to me in the bed after feeding her. I was dreaming the weirdest dream. I dreamed I was a dog biting someone and ended up biting her eye. I felt bad even till this day. Before we had any children (she is my middle child) I dreamt on night my husband was looking at a lady stripping while I was talking to him and I bit him in his neck to get his attention, but I was actually biting him om his chest so hard my teeth hurt.

From the day this happened my husband and my daugher is very close to me and my daughter is actually suffocating me sometimes as she want to brwith me 100% of the time. I cannot help to think if this hadnt had a psychological impact om her. We have a lot of issues with het emotionally and she is the only one with weight problems my other 2 are athletic. I wish there were more studies done on this.

Like some sort of monster... he started screaming and I just held him and apologized and cried.... I canā€™t believe it. Makes me never want to cuddle him again at night :(

 Same thing NEW

I was always against co-sleeping... until I had my daughter and nothing feels better than snuggling with my 2 month old baby and making her feel safe and comforted in bed with me. Until this morning that is. Like everyone else, I had a dream about arguing with a crazy woman. She had killed my cat and I was so furious with her that I grabbed her hand and bit her finger. I was startled awake by my daughter screaming and I could still feel the feeling of biting flesh... I prayed I hadnā€™t actually bit her, but when I looked at her finger, it was red with a little speck of broken skin. I have been suffering with some postpartum depression and I canā€™t stop crying. I am just so glad Iā€™m not the only one who has done this. I already miss sleeping with my sweet little girl in my arms because I can not trust myself to do it anymore.

 I just did this :( so upsetting NEW
by: Anonymous

This just happened to me this morning.
We had the worst night hardly had any sleep and been breastfeeding and let baby sleeping on me and she just wouldnā€™t settle in the crib.
Ended up having her next to me fallen asleep while kissing her face to calm her.
Then I woke that I was having a nightmare fighting with my husband and wanting to bite him(which is something I would never ever do!!) and I woke for a feeling that I bit her face.
Absolutely horrified, screamed for my husband in total shock.
Been looking up what this, was so upsetting.
The midwife just been and she asked about the marks on her face, I told her everything, I was crying so much since.
She was very reassuring and said I look very loving towards my baby but we got to make sure Iā€™m getting enough sleep....
:(:(:(
I just want to send my love to all of you experiencing this as I know how horrible it is.
It is sleep deprivation and not anything malicious but i want to make sure baby goes back to crib after feeds from now on as I donā€™t want anything like this to happen again. My poor little baby girl... :(:(

I can't believe this happens to so many people. Horrible nightmare last night and woke up to my little one crying and a red mark on her. I thought it was just a nightmare...I didn't know this could happen? Maybe a co-sleeper wasn't the best idea here. Must be sleep deprived. I feel horrible and like I'm going to be sick. My poor baby!

It was 4:30 am and my 2 month old woke up after 15 mins so I took him to my room and cuddled him. I was only sleeping for 20 mins and I had a terrible dream that a gross man was grabbing my breast. Next thing I wake up to my baby crying. I bit / scraped his head. It looks like a quarter sized scrape and was red and bleeding a little. I had to get neosporan. I feel so terrible. I have 2 other kids and this has never happened to me. My poor little guy. Feeling by a ton of emotions right now.

 I bit my baby NEW
by: Anonymous

My baby was sleeping beside me. I was having a nightmare that I was fighting off a sexual assault and when the guy tried to get his fingers down "there" I tried to bite his arm. But when my two front teeth reached his skin I was awake because my teeth hit the top of my 3 month old girl's head!!! She instantly was screaming and I instantly knew what I'd done. I hurt her. I bit the top of her head. What if I bit her soft spot!? I screamed at as well in panic to wake my husband and he sat straight up and I cried "I bit her head in my sleep" and he picked her up from me and took her away to calm her while I sat in bed crying feeling like an awful mother. I listened to her screaming from pain/upset that I caused. I love my daughter more than I love myself and I would rather have had the nightmare than hurt her.
My husband calmed her from screaming to mild crying and a few minutes later I nursed her back to sleep. She likes to use my breast as a pillow plus I cant reach her with my teeth down there but I feel scared. I kept apologizing to her and my husband and praying for her to not be in pain or for me to have damaged anything. I cant find a mark on her head but I can still feel her skull on my two front teeth.
I am so grateful for this page. Although I still feel deep shame I know that I am not a horrible monster and if you are reading this you arent eother. My daughter means the world to me. I'm scared to go back to sleep. Plus this happened a few moments before my alarm went off. I wonder if I was getting ready to wake up. Anyways it's good to know I'm not alone.

 Happened to me as well

Was woken up by screams from my wife this morning. She informed me I bit her or something in my sleep. All I remember was having an extremely vivid nightmare. The last time this type of event happened was 4 or 5 years ago. I guess I woke her up choking her while we where both asleep. This doesn't happen often to me but it has me worried.

 Feel horrible but glad Iā€™m not alone NEW
by: Anonymous

This happened a couple of hours ago. I often have vivid dreams but Iā€™ve never done anything physical in my sleep. My daughter is 7 months old and weā€™ve always coslept. Me and her dad are her comfort. I love nursing and sleeping with her. Well at 3:30 in the morning I was having a vivid dream of arguing with my husband. Weā€™ve been having arguments lately. Nothing aggressive. But very frustrating communication. So in my dream I was so frustrated at him because I felt like he was refusing to understand what I was saying. In my dream I was so mad that I tried to bite his finger off! He wasnā€™t even attacking me, I was just so annoyed and pissed off at him. And the crazy weird insane thing happened. I bit my daughters finger. I only saw one other comment on here where someone dreamed of biting a finger and then actually found a real life finger to bite. I donā€™t understand how I bit her finger. She does like putting her hand in my mouth when we are awake. Maybe she was kind of awake and did that, and maybe the sensation of her fingers in my mouth caused me to dream of biting my husbandā€™s finger. Anyway, when I bit her we instantly woke up, she was crying pretty hard like not harder than Iā€™ve ever heard her but as loud as she ever has. I immediately tried to nurse her but she wouldnā€™t, my husband was asking whatā€™s wrong what happened and at first I was just like oh my god baby oh my god are you ok Iā€™m so sorry, I told my husband to turn on the light and only after examining her hands I title him I bit her! I didnā€™t see the mark at first because in my dream I but the front and back of the finger. I think my husband was the one who found two little marks on the sides of her little ring finger! Luckily she didnā€™t bleed but the skin was a little bit broken. I think sheā€™ll be bruised. It was slightly swollen so I called her pediatricianā€™s 24 hour emergency nursing line worrying that it might be broken. That was two hours ago and thy ey havenā€™t called me back. But we cleaned it, put on a bandaid that sheā€™s now taken off, gave her Tylenol and now sheā€™s smiling laughing and playing, using her hands totally normal with all her toys. Iā€™m so glad I found this page. This seems like a highly unusual thing but Iā€™m glad Iā€™m not the only one. I was worried about our relationship but luckily my husband got her to calm down pretty quickly, and then once I calmed down I nursed her in bed again. But pretty soon it was the time sheā€™s normal awake so sheā€™s awake and happy now. My husband doesnā€™t want us to cosleep anymore but I want to repair our relationship and sleeping together feels like it makes us emotionally close. Iā€™m glad to see she feels normal around me right now and happily nursed in bed. Sheā€™s not scared of me or bed. Knock on wood. Sheā€™s so precious and my greatest fear is hurting her. I told my husband I will still nurse her to sleep but then out her in the bassinet. Itā€™s gonna be hard for all the of us, parents and baby. Because she has a strong cuddle- sleep association. So weā€™re all gonna have rough sleep for a while.

The other weird thing is that we both woke up covered in my sweat. Iā€™ve never sweat that much onto my baby. It must have been a really intense dream. As soon as I could tell she was okay, I cried so hard and I said to my husband, I must have an an anger problem! I was so mad at you in my dream that I wanted to bite your finger off! I tried to bite it like a carrot! I canā€™t believe I did that to her. But since sheā€™s playing Iā€™m 99% I didnā€™t break her finger. But it felt like I bit her tiny finger so hard. I still feel a ghost finger between my teeth. This has been horrible but Iā€™m so glad Google led me to this page.

Just last night I had bit my baby too but in my sleep. i was having a very intense and surreal dream i got into a fight with someone but not even physically and i bit them but i woke up and i had slightly bitten my son a little hard and he started crying. god i was so devastated but looking it up led to nothing but this page. iā€™m happy that iā€™m not alone but seeing all of these common situations happening and remembering my mother biting me in her sleep when i was very very young makes me think that maybe this has some sort of connection to having children. i wish someone would look more into this and do a deeper research on it because i know it would benefit us mothers a lot to know the psychology behind it.

 Help???
by: Anonymous

Has anyone found out why this is happening? It happened with my daughter and 4 month old while she was sleeping. How is this prevented? Does that mean she can never sleep with the baby again? Has anybody gotten any answers? Or what did you do to change the situation. Obviously she feels horribly and terrified. I told her she was sleeping. She would never hurt her baby. But what prevents this other then not sleeping with them?

Thank you!

Good luck!

 6 years later- baby is fine! NEW
by: Anonymous

Hey Mamas!

I posted on here 6 years ago when my daughter was about 3 months old. I was having a nightmare and bit her on her forehead. It was bad. I left a bite mark and literally cried for hours. I thought Iā€™d never be able to safely hold my baby again. Every few months, one of you posts that the same thing happened to you, and it brings up the memory. Got a notification today, and I felt like I needed to give you guys an update!
My daughter is 6 now. Sheā€™s super attached to me and has absolutely no recollection of me biting her head when she was an infant and I was a sleep deprived new mom. As far as I can tell, the incident doesnā€™t haunt her and she has no recollections of it. She doesnā€™t bite me or anyone else (except for a few times as a toddler lol). So to the sleep deprived new moms out there- please know that youā€™re killing it and babies are creating to be able to withstand new (and sleep deprived) new parents. Youā€™re going to be great ā¤ļø

 I bit my baby's head and I can't stop crying
by: Anonymous

I can't even remember what I was dreaming about, all I know is I woke to her crying and I Just knew what I'd done. I bit my baby's head. I hugged her and kissed her and gave her a bottle and some Calpol.
I've never felt so bad about anything. I haven't told my partner because I'm so ashamed.
I've been googling if I'm mentally ill or if I need to go to the drs. I haven't got pnd, I'm not particularly sleep deprived.
All I could think about this morning was dropping my little girl at her grandparents house and then walking out Infront of a bus because I feel like that's what I deserve. I could never ever intentionally hurt my kids
.I never ever did any thing like this to my son, he's now 5. I don't have my daughter in our bed, I only did this once because she was unwell the day before.
Now that I've found this thread I feel a little more normal. I've cried some more because it's a relief to know I'm not the only one

 Why isn't this being studied???
by: Anonymous

I just found this thread because I just bit my babies head very hard during a nightmare! I'm mortified and feel like I have a pit of guilt in my stomach the weight of 100lbs. She had a big welt with teeth match on the crown of her head. I was dreaming that i was walking my dogs and I came around a corner to be confronted by a bear. The bear tried to grab the smaller dog and I was holding its mouth with my hands. As the bear lunged forward further, I thought the next best thing was to bite its head to see if it would let my hands go. Next thing I know I wake up with my teeth on a solid little head and a crying baby girl. I was so shocked. Was not sleep deprived and I have never done this in my life. I have had people fall asleep in my arms a thousand times, and it never bit or hit them. I'm in shock. What I'm realizing by reading this, is that this is not as uncommon as it seems!! If we are all here, imagine the many who are too embarrassed or ashamed (or don't care) to even post here. Maybe because we sleep so deeply with out babes? All I know is from now on I will not be sleeping with her head by my face anymore or in my arms. If I do cosleep with her she will be laying in the bed away from me.

Ugh.

I just bit my baby during sleep. I was searching for answers on google and found this thread. I am still crying until now.. i felt i am a horrible mom. I have a 2 yrs old son. He was crying loud when i bit him. I alreAdy disinfected it with alcohol and antibiotic cream although there were no blood coming out i just want to make sure. I was not sleep deprived. I was having a nightmare. I am so scared right now.. i'm even afraid to tell my husband. I was calmed a bit when i read this thread that i am not the only one who experienced this. I am a horrible mom to my son. Huhu. I even bit myself because i felt bad.

I just want you to know that you are not a horrible mom at all. After I calmed down from my incident, I was able to let go of the guilt. I have since co-slept with my baby many times and have had no other bite events. I'm not sure why this is so common, but you are not alone. Please do not beat yourself up. It helped me to tell my best friend and my husband. Both of them could see how upset I was and neither of them made me feel bad. If the baby is ok, bar a red mark, then nobody should hold it against you. It wasn't intentional at all. You love your baby so much, and that is clear to me. They won't remember it.

I bit my baby boy in my sleep last night during a nightmare. He woke me up screaming and I knew right away what I had done. I had a nightmare that someone was trying to take him away from me and I went to bite them in a rage.
I felt so fucking bad and still do. He is fine tho, a little red mark on his forehead but nothing worse.
I googled to see if I was the only one because I felt so wrong and weird and abnormal for doing something like that. It does make me feel better to read so many comments from so many amazing mothers whoā€™ve experienced the same.
We arenā€™t bad mothers - if we were, we wouldnā€™t be in this comment section to begin with, worried out our minds.
Mom club is the toughest club there is and weā€™re strong as hell.

My son just turned 8 months old. We co-sleep. I woke up to the sound of him screaming. It was then that I realized I bit my baby on his head. I turned on the light to make sure I didn't break skin or that he wasn't bleeding. He has a small circular bite mark just above his eye. I feel absolutely terrible. I called my dad and just cried. I need to know that I am not alone in this and that I am not a terrible mother because I look at his little face now and feel like I don't deserve him.

Omg I canā€™t believe how many people have done this. I havenā€™t told anyone apart from my partner as Iā€™m scared my baby will be taken off me. I thought it may have been a side effect of my new dose of anti depressants but maybe itā€™s because Iā€™m sleep deprived then? Like a lot of you I was arguing with a man in my sleep, he got in my face and I bit him woke up then to my 11 month old crying as I had actually bitten her cheek. No mark thank god but oh I feel like the worst mother. My question is do I tell my dr or will they take her away? I donā€™t know what to do

I have been sleeping my kids for the longest time. I usually have nightmares every now and then. I usually kick or make sudden movements. But last night was the first time ever. I dreamt of fighting with something and to defend myself i was about to bite the arm part. Then I suddenly woke up and was holding my son's arm. I quickly checked and did not feel any bite mark. But when it was morning, that was the time I saw the bite mark I did...I feel awful..why does it need to happen?what does it mean? My son btw is 11 years old.

 Scary NEW
by: Anonymous

Very terrifying that this happened to my child and I yesterday morning. Currently has a small bruise but she is happy and doesnā€™t realize what happened. I pray to God he helps me because I feel like I will never forgive myself. We were napping , I donā€™t remember what I was dreaming about to the exact tee but I recall my childā€™s father and a new girlfriend on something of a social media aspect. Idk my childā€™s father very well but he has just tried to renter our childā€™s life as my baby is 9 months now. Very stressful situation . I was trying to change the channel on the t.v. because thatā€™s where I seen it then I became posessed by a different ex boyfriend and I remember feeling myself do it and being like WTF WTF! Iā€™m actually doing this!!? I woke up us both scared, crying and Idk if it was my ptsd from these shitty men but it happened and Iā€™m spiraling because I am by no means a terrible mother. I called my mom asap. I love my baby so much. Day in and out I would never hurt my heart or place her in danger but it was a major wake up call. I do believe this is serious and should not be taken lightly!!!!! Ever!!!! Itā€™s so easy to fall asleep with them but we have to restrain and remember thereā€™s a reason people tell us itā€™s not safe to sleep with them. We are not ourselves when we are asleep. Now idk who to vent to, I donā€™t trust not only myself but anyone I would normally trust with something like this, even my poor mother Iā€™m scared sheā€™s telling people. I also want to try to reach out to my doctor but Iā€™m so scared cps might get called and sheā€™ll be takenā€¦ lesson learned though.

 Will I forgive myself? NEW
by: Anonymous

This happened to me today around 2:30 AM. I was dreaming that someone kept trying to put their foot in my face so I went to bite their shin and I woke up to my son screaming. I felt and still feel so horrible. I donā€™t like knowing that this is something that will haunt me. things that traumatize me often pop up in my mind at random moments and i know itā€™s going to continue over the years. He is fine. He has a red mark under his eye and on his cheek. But I still feel so fucking bad. I donā€™t know if I should tell my psychiatrist or not. I donā€™t know if she will view it as me doing it purposely. My fiance took my son and slept with him the rest of the night but I got up and just went and cried to my mom. She said itā€™s time to transition him into his crib. I know this process will be hard but itā€™s better than something like this happening again.

my comment is from march 19 2024. i have started to forgive myself. i told my psychiatrist and she didnā€™t report me or anything like that. she told me anxiety and stress can cause you to act out your dreams!! so please please donā€™t blame yourselves. this isnā€™t a well known thing. from now on, if you continue to co sleep, if you feel yourself thinking about all your stresses before bed, redirect your thoughts before letting yourself fall asleep.
