Biting... OUCH

tmp-493670500007520

My DS has had his two bottom teeth for about 3 weeks now and has been biting me off and on.

I've taken advice from people about this:

finger between his gums, separate, and gently say "no biting".

stop nursing and wait 10 mins

 

I dont know what else to do. It hasn't worked.. and he's a baby that lingers/grazes to eat (has been since day one). 

Any advice? I don't want to wean yet, and I don't think he's ready either.

Keep taking him off, but maybe wait longer than 10 minutes to resume nursing.  He may bite because he is done or no longer interested.

DS bites me and I take him off and put him on the floor to play after saying NO BITE firmly.  I will nurse him again but only when he shows interest.

We do the same thing.  DS only bites when he doesn't want to nurse anymore.  I am pretty firm with the "no biting" when he does bite and I usually put him down and wait for him to come to me and show he wants to nurse.
