My ds is just about to turn 1 - he has a good set of nashers on him already - 4 upper and 4 lower and 4 molars....
He has started to bite (he did it occasionally a while ago but I think he was just testing them out).
He did it on Sunday and tried to bite my dhs knee as he was cruising round the sofa and wed just said "no" to him pulling all the papers off the sofa. Tonight he pulled himself up on the back of my legs whilst I was washing up and bit the back of my leg. It took me surprise so I screamed and then he burst into tears and got v.upset - I think I completely shocked him.
I asked nursery where he goes 2 days a week if hes ever done it to another child or anyone there but he hasnt.
Do they know what hes doing or could it be because he's teething (upper molars almost through) so is biting down for comfort. I'm so worried about it - I dont think I can bear him going round biting other children for eg.....
What do I do? Hes not daft but also still v.little.
Thanks !
I'm told he

Does a 12 month old with a good set of teeth understand biting is not nice?
