I'd say it's primarily an age thing - the clingyness and the biting.
I think people get cause and effect mixed up when judging parenting sometimes You're a responsive parent and she needs reassurance from you - even more right now but that wil pass quicker the more time you have for her.
At that age DS was the same. He grew out of it, and your little one will too - take care of yourself in the meantime and don't second guess yourself, just keep doing what feels right. Do you get much time out for yourself? I'm guessing you're not getting much personal recharge time...? That would probably help too.
DS was hitting and bitting about the same age so I also agree that it is a phase. I also told him to be gentle and that it hurt me and put him on the floor when he went too far (or when I had lost my patience with being hit/bit for the 50th time in 5 mins ) it does pass eventually. (he is hitting again but we are at a whole different level of understanding)
FWIW I also co-sleep and parent in a gentle way and DS has only just become clingy so I don't think your parenting style has anything to do with it... all babies hit/bit and are clingy at one stage or another
Hi hun, No real help here. I just wanted to say I think it is an age thing- tbh, i found the ages between 10 months and 13 months to be awful with ds. Hang on in there
