  i went through this with DS. it was not fun! I was at my breaking point more than once because of it. he did it A LOT when he had teeth breaking through. and still does occasionally when teeth are coming through. DS was not a passy kid before, and that was the only thing i could come up with that helped us. i tried frozen cloths. i tried cold wet cloths. i tried teethers. i tried telling him no. i tried telling him no, putting him down and walking away. none of that worked for us. in the end what worked was turning him into a passy kid (which i'm not proud of). not that i have a problem with passies, i actually think they are rather cute. i never wanted to have to deal with breaking a kid from a passy.

  i just kept a pacifier close and whenever he bit i would give it to him, tell him no and tell him to use his passy. it took about a week, but he stopped biting. but now, he needs a passy handy at all times. solves one problem, but creates another. but i'll take the passy over the bitin anytime. that hurt!

  I've heard some moms talk about liking this series of books: https://www.powells.com/biblio/1-9781575421285-0.
