It's so odd what toddlers get stuck on: biting, screaming, breath-holding. I never had to handle this, but I would love to hear advice from other parents who've been through a difficult toddler behaviour and have some wisdom. Good luck, come and tell us what you try and what works.

My dearest, as hard as it might be...give him a good bite back. my sister used to bite me at EVERY occasion when we were small, my mom grabbed her one-day, gave her a flippen big bite and it STOPPED. Never a single bite after that.

My son use to do the same thing until one day he bit my husband, out of pure reaction my husband bit my son back. I know, I know some people will say that is cruel but boy he NEVER EVER bit again. I am not sure if it was beacause he realised but that hurt or from pure fright.

Try chillies on the mouth.... the little red one works wonders. Dont put the whole thing in their mouth, slice it and rub on their tongue!

Agreed. Give a mean bite back - he will learn very quickly how unpleasant it is.

My cousin bit me when we were toddlers................. My mother bit her straight away BUT HARD, and that stopped her biting straight away. She had a terrible habit of biting everyone, and she bit me so that it drew blood. After my mom bit her , she never bit anyone again.

everytime he bites, just take a tea spoon dipped in some really hot chilli type sauce and put it in his mouth. if he closes his mouth, just rub it on his lips, he will lick it.

He is jsut over excited and don't know how to express his feelings. to him, biting is seen as showing love somehow. Best thing is, either bite him back, or each time he does that, be stern, spanking also helps

Biting back worked for both my boys. It is a phase they go through. You need to show him that it is painfull and he won't do it again.

Worked 100% with my children.

Agreed - bite back or put chili paste on his lips. In fact biting back is best, quichest and most effective!

As far as your son is concern it is normal at that age.. it is also part of the development of the mouth .. but if he continue as he gets older the only way is every time he bites you bite back .. done that with my son got him to stop now and again he will still try it but then he gets reminded how it feels (3 and half now) (verbally) if that does not help then he gets reminded the same way he hands out.. then it stops again... dont stress too much.

Put a dog collar on him and make him wear it all day. Every time he bites put the collar back on.

Bite him back, i did it with my son(now 26) and the only thing he bites are his food, no human or animal biting... holding breath - a good spanking helped my daughter overcome that at a very early stage she is now 24.

good luck

Biting is not uncommon in children 2 - 3 years old. When I was of the same age (many moons ago), a kid in the neighbourhood kept biting me so my mother bit her back and that was the end of the biting. Apparently in my mother's and grandmother's generation, that was how one dealt with children who were prone to biting........bite back.
