DS is 10 months with 4 teeth (top & bottom incisors). Obviously he bites and chews everything - he's a baby right? But he's taken to gnawing me and DH in a frankly painful fashion (bruising/grazes through clothing!) This needs to stop! I've started flinching when he cruises near my knees...
I've got a book which recommends not reacting to the bite other than saying 'no biting' firmly and then distracting him. Been trying that for a fortnight with no discernable impact! (although to be fair I have reacted quite strongly to bites on my inner thigh and inner arm as they really hurt!!) Does anyone have any other advice? Or do we just have to ride this one out? And how long might it last?
