Grandparent advice

So recently we were visiting my dad when my dd didn't want to look or talk and knipped me on the shoulder with her teeth. So I told her no no biting and put her to sit on the floor. My dad proceeded to try and keep telling her off when she was crying and I told him thanks but no thanks she already been told no I don't need any backup.
So twenty seconds of crying and then my dad starts again and I tell him enough I don't need you saying anything.
So then he starts saying she has bit him and hit him when he looks after her (a few hours for two days a week) and first time he menitoned I said. Sometimes she will hit when she doesn't want lifted (usually tired)
So this carries on where he says I'm not firm enough and Il have problems with her when she goes to nursery etc. And he says how many kids he's raised etc and I left as I don't want to argue about it. I haven't asked for any advice as honestly she really is normally a happy child with no concerns.

She has just turned 2.

Childminder has no problems when she is there.
She has knipped me a three/four times over the last week or so. But only when close to bedtime and she's been cuddling me. Still gets a row.

So not to df she was woken up early this morning.

Toddlers biting is very common. Usually, it is when something is happening they don't want. Sometimes you can pre-empt before the bite happens and say No. Sometimes you have to give a toddler another tactic when they feel threatened like saying No I don't want that. If its another child, watch out for the signs. It is hard to deal with after the vent and will cause her distress. Explain to the grandparents you are dealing with bit and have been advised harsh measures do not work. Talk to your health visitor. Deal with it without the interference of the grandparent. A leaflet from a health professional may back you up

That's a great idea. I will message my health visitor.
I honestly didn't think the biting was a concern because it's a rarity!
Thank you for replying @confusedbeetle
