13 month old and biting

Just want a bit of advice really, my dd is 13 months old and she ha started to bite when she gets frustrated. She knows the word no but will keep doing whatever she is doing until we move her away and then she will throw herself on the floor and bite.

She is our 1st baby so not sure if this is normal, she is normally a lovely little girl apart from this.

Does anyone else's baby do this?? And is this normal behaviour??

She is throwing a tanturm as she cant get her own way and she does not know how to handle her emotions. The biteing could be a phase but you need to stop her doing it as she might bite another child.

I would say its normal for chikdren to have tantrums but you need to teach her what is acceptable and what is not. I dont think a 13 month old knows no the best stratagy untill two years old is still physically remove and distract.

Personally if it was me i whould shout "ouch that hurts mummy, no biteing" but carry on with removing her and distracting her and hope its a phase and she learns biteing achieves nothing. Also its important to remain calm and in control.

There is also no normal where children are concerned.

Thank you, it's something I worrying about coz I don't want her biting other kids. Hopefully it's just a phase
