  Is he biting you?  DD bites my shoulder when she is overtired or otherwise disgruntled.  I immediately put her down.  I say, "Biting hurts," and turn away for a moment.  She usually starts sobbing the second I put her down, not tantrum-crying, more like devastation.  I figure she only needs a few seconds of feeling that to get the idea, so I pick her up and tend to the primary need--bed, food, water, whatever--that caused the behavior. 
  
  She has not (to my knowledge) bitten anyone except me, so of course the response would be different if she bit someone else.
