It hurts and has left bruises! For him it's related to teething and hunger though (if I'm too slow to sit down & nurse him).<br /><br />It sounds as though Nate is trying to communicate with you. Can you anticipate the bite in some situations and given him the attention that he needs in order to avoid it? If he's biting to get your attention, isn't ignoring him counterproductive?<br /><br />TBB was a biiiiiiig biter, for fun it seemed. It didn't last long and at 5 he doesn't go around biting other kids at all.<br /><br />I really wouldn't worry too much, he won't be biting forever :) This too shall pass...........Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2393371559584429101.post-90333221285435952692009-06-15T00:54:56.674-04:002009-06-15T00:54:56.674-04:00Sorry you are going through this stage. One of my ...Sorry you are going through this stage. One of my sons went through this, too. We did the stern "No!" thing, with limited success because as you say it is hard to not freak out from the pain. One thing that did help in our situation was to "feed the bite." Wherever you are being bitten, push into the bite. They do NOT like this and let go. Worked for us every time, and his biting stage was relatively short lived once we started to feed the bite. (They taught us this technique at my school to help us when dealing with emotionally disturbed teenagers who bite--OMG I can't imagine what that would feel like. A baby's bite is bad enough!)<br /><br />Good luck.Staciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01471803757485977959noreply@blogger.com
