We have a new foster son

Hey everyone,

We came back from vacation on Saturday night Aug. 13th, and picked him at 9am the next morning... He is almost 9 months old, has 8 teeth, 4 on top, and 4 on bottom...
I am having a few problems with him...

He is biting really bad, and really hard.. He tore a plug out of my shoulder... It seems to be when he is mad, or when he is tired... I also know that when he had a visit with bmom, she just let him do it, and laughs about it... He also pulls hair really bad...

He doesn't sleep well, at night... He whines in his sleep all night long... He also wants a bottle proped up in his mouth all night long.. We are working on that, and it is getting better...

He also wants me to hold him 24/7... If he is playing in the floor, and I walk out of the room, he start screaming really loud...

It has been a long time since I had a baby of my own, but I am wondering if this is an attachment issue? And what can I do to help this little guy along?

Thanks for all the help...
Hugs,
Gina

PS. Please pray for us both to get some rest, cause I am really tired...
