How do I stop 11 month old DS biting me?!

[littleEasterlapin]

He's got 6 very sharp teeth, and he just loves to amble over and sink them into my arm/shoulder/foot - and he bites other people's toes as well (ugh).

It's bloody painful and I really want to stop him. He got shrieked at yesterday - not on purpose, but just from shock, as it hurt so much (he drew blood ) - which made him cry, but it hasn't stopped himself. I've been saying "No" and removing him, but that hasn't worked so far.

Amyone have any brilliant ideas?! HELLLLPPPPPP MMMMEEEEE! (please )

anyone?

DD went through a little phase of this, usually when giddy and happy,and in need of getting rid of some of her feelings !! you do recoil, and then i would place her a foot or two away from me, say 'no biting' and go off and do something else..she stopped doing it quickly, i think they all do it, it is just a way of exploring their own bodies, boundaries and emotions....

i made sure if she was teething, which seemed to make her more 'bitey' ,she had something she was allowed to bite on...

Sorry, don't know, but I'm hoping when someone comes along with ideas for you they also work for pinching ('Don't pinch mummy, it hurts', said 4000 times a day and accompanied by gnetly removing the offending hand isn't working here...). I know someone who went down the shrieking route for biting and it does seem to have worked - her DS bit me once and I know where you are coming from about the sharp, sharp teeth!

HA, HA, HA...ds went through the phase (it is just a phase), I used to just let it go and not make a fuss, the reaction is very rewarding to them and ds is now 16 months and has stopped doing it about a month ago, he started cutting his canines and I think it was too painful for him to bite down and as a result he has completely stopped doing it.

Oh and I used to say "humans doin't bite each other" for what its worth

My ds likes to bite my nose. I think he thinks he's giving me a kiss. It would be funny if it didn't hurt so much!

I think you just have to be persistent with NO, a stern face, removal and ignore him for a few minutes.

I'm not going to be good at the ignoring thing, he's so cuuuute!

He definitely does it when he's in a particularly cheerful mood... AND he's teething... but he hates teething rings, mummy is obviously much chewier!

What we did, was we taught ds to blow raspberries, then when he gets close to someone with his mouth, we make a big thing about him blowing a raspberry, saying how cute he is and how funny raspberries are. Most of the time it puts him off his bite and he blows a raspberry.

Also, kisses are good, bites are bad. Make a big thing about him giving you a kiss every time his mouth comes near you... it may make him kiss instead of bite.

DD1 used to bite. I used to just try to bite my tounge[sometimes she realllllllllyyyyyyyyyyy hurt] and tell her No naughty and move her away.
She is 15mths now and dont remember last time she tried to bite.

My ds is 14 months and like yours liked to bite me I think as exploring etc. It is hard when they are so cute. But I continued to say 'No biting' moving ds away and ignoring him for a couple of minutes. Seems to have worked, though he did cry when I ignored him which I found hard.
