XP- suggestions for 11m twins biting

festivus · July 2012

My boys are 11 months and biting like crazy- each other, me, DH, even the dog if he sits still too long! Sometimes it's after one steals a toy from the other, but often it's just random. They'll lean in to give me a slobbery kiss and then bite! Anyone else dealing with this? Any tips on dealing with biting?

After being home with them a full year, they start FT daycare in Sept. Not sure the biting is going to make them very popular!

-stalking for suggestions-

My 15 month old niece, whom I watch 5 days a week, bites the crap out of my 10 month old.

LOL I got nothing, but the visual from this is pretty funny. Silly babies.

Sorry you're dealing with this, hopefully its just another phase that'll pass quickly.

How long have they been doing it? DD was really bad for a week while she was teething, but seems to be getting better about it. We also consistently said no biting very sternly each time she did it and I would hold her cheeks.

They've been doing it for a few weeks, I'd say, with no signs of slowing. I speak to them very sternly when it happens, and they either smile at me like I'm joking or immediately start crying.

When my son bit, my first reponse was to cry out/make a high pitched 'ow' sound, like you do when training a puppy. Then I say 'no biting, it hurts'. Now he just puts his mouth on me and gives a slobbery kiss or puts pressure without biting, like he knows how much is too much. And when he does that I praise him and say 'yay good kissy' and he seems happy that he understands what is ok and not.
