I hadn't thought of just putting him down and walking away. Will try that tomorrow! He almost bit another baby at play group today! :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tip-for-9-month-old-whos-favourite-activity-is-biting#post-1978454 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 11:09:42 +0000 mrbee 1978454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So sorry - biting is the worst!!</p> <p>I would immediately put him down and/or walk away from him, so he gets immediate feedback that biting isn't acceptable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tip-for-9-month-old-whos-favourite-activity-is-biting#post-1978449 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 11:08:56 +0000 Bubbles 1978449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tell him 'No' gently but firmly. If he does it again, I say 'No' again, and place him down on the floor away from me. He is a little upset at being placed away from me, but he gets over it v quickly. Now at 11mo he rarely does it - but I am now having to use the same technique to try and teach him not to hit and scratch me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tip-for-9-month-old-whos-favourite-activity-is-biting#post-1978417 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 10:52:25 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1978417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>ouch! I'm sorry lady :( My 10 month old has 5, almost 6 and she occasionally bites me and it HURTS. She bit me on the back of my thigh yesterday! I'm not sure what to do other than say "No! That hurts Mommy. No biting." And give her something she CAN bite, like Sophie or a teething toy. Interested to hear what others say. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tip-for-9-month-old-whos-favourite-activity-is-biting#post-1978410 Wed, 10 Dec 2014 10:48:01 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1978410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is almost 9 months old. He has 7 teeth. He bites me hard probably about 20 times a day. I am at a loss for what to do. </p> <p>Not willing to bite him back, haha. </p> <p>Any tips for a young baby that enjoys biting? </p>
