Help My Son Won't Stop Biting Me!

Bite him back! That's what I've always been told works and that's what everyone I know does. Just enough for him to realize that it hurts when he bites you.

Absolutely do not bite your child. Talk with him, take things away, time out for one minute, what ever it takes, but do not bite him. It sets the example of biting and it also makes you one years old.

If you let him know he is hurting you and he better not do it again, give him a bite on his hand, just enough until he says owh! It will let him know that it hurts and it's not a game. I know that sounds mean but for some reason he thinks this is allowed and that it is a game. Tell him that it hurts mommy and that he is not to do it again.

I think when people say bite him back they dont mean draw blood :) Its simply a cause and effect - the baby (I have an august 07 also) has no idea he is hurting you - he simply LOVES the response he gets - you are right it is a game. While you can certainly try to put pressure on his arm with your mouth in an attempt to share with him what he is doing hurts I think if you try the no reaction approach you may have better luck. He certainly is looking for a NO or an OW or something equally entertaining so as hard as it may be steel yourself and dont even look at him or say a word and his game will not be fun anymore.... my one year old (angels aren't they? :)) was beginning this fun game called hit mom. No one else just me :) So I tried the holding his arm and saying sternly No and redirecting but it was too fun to stop for him so when he didnt get a reaction he wanders onto something different. Hope this helps :)
