My partners 2 year old daughter keeps biting my daughter!! What should I do??

[Empriscillavoss]

Hey everyone I'm really getting myself wound up about this! We have my partners daughter very weekend and she has bitten my daughter twice today on her arm! I have done a time out both times but it doesnt seem to phase her and she goes and sits on the step with no hesitation! I'm worried my daughter may begin to do the same thing back to her or begin doing it at nursery! How shall I handle this? Any advice would be great! X

How old is your daughter? It sounds like the 2 year old is reacting to change...has she always come to you at weekends?

Hmm well we are in a very interesting situation as there is only 3 months between them!!! Strange I know! However we go through times where we don't see her for 3 weeks or more as partner has issues with his ex but as of late, yes it's been every weekend and the last two times she has bitten her. but today it was twice within 3 hours!

Could she be getting her 2 year molars?

Yeah she probably is getting her molars however she only bites when she's angry or my ds has something she wants so I'm guessing its not to relieve pain
