My toddler uses my hair as his comfort thing - stroking it, twirling it, pulling it, even combing it with his toes when we’re bed-sharing. I've just blow dried my shoulder length hair and I have a literal crown of frizzy broken strands sticking up above my ears from the constant grabbing. It looks absolutely unhinged.
I'm also 38 weeks pregnant so I'm desperately trying to wean this habit before the newborn arrives and I have even less patience for it.
I've tried offering comforters and my hairdresser kindly gave me a hair extension to try but nothing has stuck yet. Has anyone successfully transitioned their toddler away from their hair? What actually worked for you? A specific toy, a lovey, a distraction technique? I'll try literally anything at this point. TIA
