I have a biter!
Not my first child, but my first biter 🤦 anyone have any tips to stop this? 8/10 times he doesn't succeed as we remove ourselves before he gets the bite. We've tried removing ourselves, telling him no biting as we do it. Walking away and offering a teething toy, or any toy instead. Nothing seems to be working. He socialises a lot! And hasn't bit another baby yet, just adults. But I want to nip this in the bud before he starts nursery! Any advice from people who have been through this before would be appreciated!

How long did it take her to stop? We have been doing that too. He's been biting for a few weeks now
2 months, maybe. But remember, every child learns at different paces. We start nursery next week, so that'll be the real test lol x
Good luck! We don't start nursery untill January so I'm hopeful 🤞😂
We have a biter here too 😭 the teeth are so sharp and he's so strong!! He genuinely hurts us which is then putting us on edge when his face is near us, he used to give kisses and was so cuddly 😫 At least this time of year we are layered up so he sometimes just gets clothes!
Same here. It progressed from cute kisses. He has a cold today and hasn't attempted to bite. First time I'm happy for a cold 😂

My daughter used to teeth us, and it turned into biting. We discouraged it by saying "gentle" when she was doing it, so she knew what behaviour was wrong. She doesn't do it now. Yes, it means you get bitten, but if you say ouch and show it hurts, it helps them understand what they've done is wrong. X
