If we tell them biting isnt okay yet we bite them, will only confuse the child

Oh and she is absolutely adorable. Love the name my Natalie will be here in 10 weeks.

Biting back didn't work for me. He only bit at daycare and actually got kicked out. Honestly I think he was pushed to biting by the other kids but whatever. We tried the time out didn't work the biting back didn't work. We would just sternly tell him no. It really is a phase and he will grow out of it. Ds doesn't anymore. We have moved onto shut up which is lovely.

@aileen Thank you for the tips! I guess I'm just worried it won't work because she's still a baby in my head. But you're right, she is beginning to understand cause and effect.

@bri I've heard that works for a lot of moms. I'm not against it, but I feel I need to teach her that all of that aggressive behavior is bad, and we really need to get a predictable punishment in place so she knows if she acts a certain way, ____ will happen.

First time warning. "No we do not hit/bite. It hurts. Gives us an owie. We dont want to hurt our friends. next time we go to time out for 1 minute". Used sit my son on a stair. And kept putting him back when he got up. When he was a little older time would be added if he got up.

I know a lot of moms who simply bit their child back so they could see its not funny and they stopped biting. Not saying chomp down on her arm but let her know its not funny when it happens to her.

Def do time out,take her toys away and explain to her why you are doing it, let her know its not okay to hit, and bite

No, the hitting and hair pulling have been going on for almost a month now with the biting starting as soon as she's gotten the top two teeth (2 - 3 weeks). This past week has been her first week of daycare.

Do you put directly into time out or do you say NO and then the second time is time out? I'm a FTM so this is a completely new process for me.

That is not too little for time out. My son starting going into time out as soon as he could understand what it was. 1 minute per year. I used time out, talking with my son and patience to overcome this problem. Its actually very common

Did she start behaving this way since she's been in day care??
