So my 9month old, 10m next week, keeps biting. I don't want to hit his mouth, and I know he doesn't understand No, no matter how much I say it. and thinks its funny. It hurts so much when he bites. what should I do?
I bit my daughter back, not hard or anything and it made her cry and I told her it hurts . Took a few times and she stopped
Redirect. Your 10 month old will not understand why it's okay for mommy to bite but not him. Why can mommy hit and spank but I can't? He's not old enough to grasp that yet. It's a way to get attention. Redirect his attention to something he CAN do and talk to him on his level by explaining that 'it hurts when you bite mommy and it's not nice and it hurts my feelings. When you want mommys attention, please use your words *say this* or *do this* instead but we don't bite because it's not nice and hurts my feelings
we hold my daughter's mouth closed gently until she gets mad EVERY time she bites! she's 9.5 months and it's working! she rarely bites anymore
my son bites my toes when I'm sitting on the couch, it hurts! he did it to my arm a couple times. I don't know how to stop it and I don't want to yell, like you said, a 10 month old has no clue what stop means lol
yes ma'am he would my mom sis it to my little brother & my bfs mom did it to him when he was just about Sammy's age maybe a little older
@nichole_lynn, it feels like being stabbed with a needle or something. he always does it on my shoulder and once on my face
@aek91, I did it to Vincent but he was already older when i did that to him. but Would Sammy understand it tho?
I bit my doctor back too and she stopped
