I need a few pointers on this one. My 10 month old son had 8 of his teeth pop out by the time he was 7 months which hasn't been a problem in the slightest. He doesn't bite when I'm feeding him but he's into giving open mouth kisses and raspberries which is all very sweet until he decides to get his teeth involved. I let him mouth in the beginning as he seemed to know the difference between that and biting but now he will sink his teeth in at any opportunity. On occassion he's taken me by surprise and I've let out a shriek - which he thinks is fab and launchs himself at me to have another go. I've tried saying "no" firmly which he takes no notice of or worse, thinks is hillarious. I try to side track him and not make a big thing of it which works until the next time he's sitting on my knee. Was hoping he'd grown out of it but it's been nearly two months now that it's been a real problem. He's very sociable and loves being handed over to anyone - I think because he sees them as unsuspecting prey!!! Any tips mums??
