Biting...

Not sure as I haven't dealt with this yet but with my dogs ( :biglaugh: ) when they were puppies and would bite I would pull back and yelp really loudly and say "NO biting!" So I guess with a child you could modify that and add "-it hurts Mommy" at the end, LOL
Well she got ahold of my hand. Out of reaction I kind of popped her in her mouth. It wasn't hard at all. She just looked at me. I spanked her also and proceeded to let her know that biting was disgusting and we don't bite.
She's been throwing awful tantrums lately too.

As I have learned, they grow out of it. My oldest and I am sure I will hear about it from someone is I bit her back. She never bit again after that though. My next 2 dd's just outgrew it. I tried everything to get them to stop and nothing worked. So when they did I would just sit them in time out and make them apologize. That didn't even work but I had to make them aware they did something wrong. My 4th dd is 22 months now and she is in the stage of biting. She bites everyone no matter what. Nothing works, I guess she will outgrow it too.
hmm this will be an interesting thread to read. My son is seven months old and I breast feed him and he has bitten me hard with his gums while feeding. This is when he is done feeding and is slowly losing interest. I yelped out loud involuntarily and that scared him and he started to cry. Did not mean to scare him, but I hope he makes the connection in his head... Will have to wait and watch how it goes. I am looking forward to reading all the suggestions that others have
well Nichole bit a few times while nursing and when she was little. Like 8 months or so. Maybe a little older.so if its during nursing (don't think you are anymore but... lol) they say to push baby into your breast, this makes them let go. It didn't work for us though as Nichole thought it was funny. lol
The only thing that ever worked for her was to firmly but not yell, say "No biting" and then set her down and walk away. SHe would get soooo mad and scram at me. It worked though. After doing that about 3 times she stopped doing it all together. This was after trying many things that didn't work. It was so bad at one point I was affraid to hold her cuz she would just bite down on my shoulder, leg whatever

My son would bite too when he was that age. I've never done this, but his Grandma would bit him back to show him what it was like. My husband and I would just say in a stern voice, "No biting, that hurts, mommy (or daddy depending on who he bit)" He's grown out of it now. So it does seem to be just a stage they all go through.
I think it's ridiculous that parents would bite their kids back to "show them how it feels." How is that doing anything but breeding violence and harsh feelings? I don't condone spanking, but I can at least understand it....biting back?...I can't even come close to fathoming how that's ok.
I'm sorry, I just don't buy that as being a viable discipline method. It seems there are better alternatives. I guess I'm soured because my former step-son had that done to him by his father's mother, and left a welt on him. I ended up calling child services on her because it was so bad.
To each their own I guess, but I would never do that to Delaney and would never encourage another parent to take such action.
