Not sure if you are allowed to do this these days but when we bit ad children, my mum used to bite us back... I learnt real fast not to bite!! Lol.
I think if you exaggerate the pain it'll help teach them that it hurts and you don't like it and hopefully then they will stop!
Hi beany, Amelia does this as well. I usually yelp in pain and surprise which startles her. I'm trying to do what Jen did with teaching her to kiss instead. It worked with hair pulling and face grabbing. She never means to hurt, and I don't think she really understands that she does. But we just stroked her face while saying "gentle, gentle" and she got it pretty quickly.
I do notice that the biting is always worse when she is teething, too.
my dd is 10 months and since getting her top teeth(now has top and bottom) she has taken to biting, if i make it known, flinch or scream, when it hurts she tends to do it more for the reaction, im trying what worked on the boys, not reacting just pulling her away (out of teeth range) and saying NO. it worked for the boys so hoping she gets the pic to.
good luck
