Biting

we went through a biting phase too. over exaggerate an “ow!!!!!!!” seemed to help her understand that it hurt and it was fun. i also found that keeping direction short (no bite!) , helped her grasp that biting wasn’t okay vs giving her a mouthful at one time.

My mom said bite back 😩🤣

Never went through a bad stage of it with my daughter, just the occasional biting. I told her no biting and redirected. The more you react, the more she'll think it's funny since they are learning based on reactions right now. Worse case scenario, bite back which some people may not be okay with but it works.

@Ashlyn this is great advice thank you I’m gonna try

@Taylor 😂😂 my mom said the same thing

Thank you ladies 💗 I’m gonna try redirecting and if it gets worse I’ll have to bite back 😭

@Sosa 🤣🤣🤣 I did not too hard but enough for him to try to move me and he stopped biting hard he just does it gently

@Taylor ok ok makes sense

My son would do the same too. Just trying to stay calm and firm when speaking For me when he bite I would say “no bite -do you want something to bite “ and would hand him a teether instead.

I took for pacifier away a few weeks ago soooo and she has no interest in the teethers

You could try to replace the behavior. Once baby starts biting, tell him no but give him something he can bite. 💕 you could always scream “OW”. That’s usually stops them too 😂

@Kandis for behaviors you want to change, you shouldn’t give them a big reaction. Like others side, in a calm neutral tone, say “No biting” and give them something to bite in front of the mouth and redirect. Whenever my son bites me when I’m holding him, one thing I’m trying is to suddenly out him down and walk away.

Biting back was unfortunately the only working solution with my first 😭 good luck!
