Mandy bites her nails too. She's been doing it since about 18 months old. I noticed that she'll do it more when she's over tired or bored. It's annoying but I wouldn't worry about it.

I don't know, but I wouldn't think they would even know enough to form a habit because of anxiety at this age.?? Maybe she just did it once because she was curious and decided it was neat? She could have seen someone else other than you or your husband do it. I'm really not sure at what age nail biting begins. Sorry I am not much of a help!

Haley has taken to biting her nails. I don't understand how she picked it up since DH and I don't bite our nails. It worries me that maybe she's got some anxiety that is causing her to do it. Do any of your LOs bite their nails?
