16mo babies fighting instead of playing.. wdyt?

I think keep her away for a while if you can i dont think it would be helping her in any way as a learning experience, she's probably too young to stand up for herself and its probably not in her character. Hope that helps

Yep that, she is very impressionable and you don't want her to think this is normal and good Behaviour

At similar ages, DD and Pandora's DS had a weekend together - and we spent all weekend keeping them apart! It was pretty ordinary for all of us really. Two seconds alone and there were tears (DD wouldn't fight back if being pushed etc). about 3 months later they had a few hours together at Div's, and then another couple of months later, we had another weekend together - and the change that came about over the latter two visits was huge. they were the best of friends for the whole weekend

if it were me, i'd give it a bit more time and then try again. 16month olds aren't going to learn the difference between gentle and rough - she will just end up distressed and reluctant to be around this child longer term

exactly what BG said.

Oh well I guess I will keep them apart!
You know, my instincts told me it wasn't a good thing, I wish I'd listened, this has been going on for many months now, every single week!
My friend always says that my DD is the problem, she's too sensitive and that her baby just wants to play.
I'm going to stop torturing both of us and just see my friend without our kids around!
