Just wondering if anyone has any bright ideas on how to stop my little boy from biting me?? He'll be 1 in a couple weeks time and I'm not ready to wean him, but it's getting very painful! He does it on purpose too. He's having a bit of a tough time with teething at the moment and he seems to take his frustration out on me & thinking I'm a teether! I try to firmly tell him no (without smiles) but he just gives me a cheeky grin like he thinks it's funny to see me react to pain! lol Sometimes he does it when he's actually really in need of a feed and is very sleepy...but it takes a while before he gives up biting and just feeds to sleep. Like biting me 10-20 times and then either I give up & put him in the floor, or he eventually stops.

Anyone else had this experience? TBH, my daughter was never like this - very thoughtful of her mummy & quickly gave up any intentional biting (when she was about 8mo, perhaps). But my little boy thinks it's a fun game! So any tips or ideas would be gratefully received!

well...I really can't give you any advice as biting with my boys always signified the end of our bf relationships, for one reason or another.
There is lots of good advice on Kellymom.com. maybe somehting from there will help you!
