My 10-month-old girls are fighting over toys! Baby A consistently tries to grab whatever Baby B has. Baby B is starting to try to fight back, further upsetting Baby A. Today Baby A grabbed Baby B's hair and arm and yanked to try to get her sister away from a toy that she wanted, and then threw a tantrum when I told her "No fighting" and removed her from her sister. Help! I know babies are egocentric, so it it even worth disciplining for this? Do I just let them work it out? Baby B is even starting to yell and wave her arms wildly to try to fend off Baby A when she approaches! Do I put a baby gate between them? (That seems so ridiculous!) They are 10 months old, for goodness sake!
Suggestions??

It started at 5 mos around here.... We just try to distract one or both. Thus far, they usually find something else soon enough... Unfortunately, sharing is a ways away...
