10 month old biting me

[Loops81]

My 10 month old is delighted to have four teeth, and is into biting us at the moment – face, hands etc. It really hurts sometimes but she finds it funny. I may be to blame for this as I’ve always chomped on her cheeks and belly to make her laugh so she could be copying me. From other peoples’ experience is this a phase they go through when they’re teething/exploring sensations, or do I need to teach her that it’s wrong? I do say “no” when she does it, is there anything else I can do? I don't want her to start taking chunks out of other kids at nursery.

It is a phase they all go through. Just put them on the floor with a toy and say nothing.

It is worse with twins because they bite each other I used to just give them a toy each at the other end of the rug.

This reminds me of when my DS was 8 months with the first two pearlies. when feeding he suddenly bit me - I think it just occurred to him! Needless to say I squealed in pain and surprise whereupon he pulled back and regarded me in shock and surprise. I then gave him a short lecture on biting and an ultimatum that if he did that again it was no more Milk Bar.
Thoughtfully he latched back on and it never happened again!
It is pot luck when and how the first 'experiment' happens and presumably that and the child's character determines the way forward... cut yourself some slack but be aware. At nursery they will deal with it usually be temporarily keeping the culprit out of circulation as this happens all the time as you might imagine.

A little pinch works wonders

Its a phase, a horrible one but it will pass. My DS used to bite me, but often took me by surprise. I once burst into tears (had just had my DD) and he looked a bit worried and stopped. not that I recommend intentionally doing this as that would be emotionally manipulative.
