    21 month olds biting 8 month old brother

    Oh boy, Lucie has started biting Ned's fingers REALLY hard - he screams and you can see teeth marks. What can I do???? We have sternly told her off both times and I am hoping she is learning because it really isn't something I want repeated EVER! Any suggestions on how to deal with it?

    Oh wow Soph. When Emmy was around Ned's age, Jess (2.5) would ride her pushcars over her fingers quite deliberately! Apart from the stern 'no we dont ride over our sisters fingers..it hurts her' we really had to praise the good things she would do with her sister. It seemed that I was quite over the top for a while, but it worked ....eventually. Poor Neddy!
