When she tries to gnaw on my hand or fingers, I will give her something else to bite/chew on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-have-a-biter#post-1289784 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 16:26:41 +0000 LuLu Mom 1289784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another one for normal and to redirect the biting to reinforce it is not good behavior. your LO is just testing out the new chompers and figuring out what they do :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-have-a-biter#post-1289760 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 16:13:56 +0000 CarrieLouWho 1289760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I got a call this morning that my LO (14 months) had bit 2 other kids in her room. She's got 5 teeth coming in at once, so I know that's it. Daycare was very nice about it... I'm not sure what to do other than what was listed here - say no biting and put her down. </p> <p>Oh the joys! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-have-a-biter#post-1289425 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 14:20:06 +0000 edelweiss 1289425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think it is pretty normal. the "gentle" reminders and redirection are good practice even if the message isn't quite sinking in yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-have-a-biter#post-1289421 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 14:18:26 +0000 MamaG 1289421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal! We stopped the "raspberries" and kissing all over her when we were in this stage. She still will tell us sometimes when we blow raspberries on her belly to stop biting (we are clearly not biting her). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-have-a-biter#post-1289348 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 13:57:27 +0000 hilsy85 1289348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it is normal. One of my friends had bruises all over her shoulder from her LO! Our pedi said say no biting frimly and to put LO down when they do that and walk away so they get that biting is an undesirable behavior. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-have-a-biter#post-1289293 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 13:40:44 +0000 Smurfette 1289293@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R has 5 teeth and has biten me a handful of times as well. I just told her No, we don't bite. She hasn't done in over two weeks now.......</p> <p>At least she isn't biting during nursing! Or is she? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-have-a-biter#post-1289250 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 13:20:57 +0000 yoursilverlining 1289250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds totally normal! My daughter went through a biting phase and nothing I did helped - ignoring her and giving zero response had the most luck; everything else elicited laugher and more biting. Hope it's a phase that passes soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-have-a-biter#post-1289231 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 13:13:56 +0000 Arden 1289231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So far I've just been pulling her away and saying "No, don't bite. Gentle please." But she just laughs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/we-have-a-biter#post-1289227 Wed, 18 Dec 2013 13:13:03 +0000 Arden 1289227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vi just had three more teeth pop in (five total now) and all of the sudden, instead of chewing on her toys, she's taken to biting. As in, lunging for my arm with her mouth wide open, and sinking her teeth in, hard.</p> <p>I have little teeth marks all over my body. She woke me up this morning by biting me... on the butt. </p> <p>Is this normal? What should I do? </p>
