Hey

My toddler started to bite me. I currently just try to ignore it but it doesn't work. He doesn't do it with my husband.

What can I do?

Definitely don't ignore. It's not appropriate behaviour and they need to know.

Is there usually a trigger like tiredness or frustration?

No not in particularly he just bites then laughs...

You could try saying no, very firmly with a cross face and then putting him down or leaving the room. He is trying to get a reaction when he does this so don't give him one, remove yourself.

That's good advice from fumanchu.

There are a few tips in this article 14 ways to stop hitting and biting. I don't know if any of those things will be of use?
