biting 12 mo old

in Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months
My triplets are 14 mo..almost 12 mo adjusted. One is a biter. He honestly lunges at the other boys and bites..hard. he does it with us too and leaves marks. My 2 yo dd has now learned this hurts and does it when she's frustrated. After my son does it, he laughs.. he really thinks he's playing. Advice on stopping this?
Thanks!

    So when my DD was biting I made sure to tell her no very sternly every time and frowning or making a mad face at her and I made sure to never act like it was funny thing to do even once to keep her from getting mixed messages. For us it was a phase and she stopped doing it, but I know every baby is different. Some Moms says ignoring it is better but I don't know, I felt like showing my displeasure with her was better. If I was holding her and she bit me I put her down and walked away after saying no (and refused to pick her back up) so she would know there were consequences.

    that would probably work very well for us, but how do I stop him from biting the other triplets and the 2 year old?

    Hmmm, pull him away when he does it and do sort of a time out? I know he's young and won't "get" it yet but it's worth a shot. Somehow he needs to realize that the behavior isn't ok but he's young so that's tricky.

    Yeah just constantly correct the behavior when you see it happen and if you have a day care provider make sure they know you are ok with them doing the same. Consistency is key.

    Our preschool recommends reading teeth are not for biting. I'm not sure if it helped or he just grew out of biting but it's worth a shot. He also liked the Yo Gabba Gabba song don't bite your friends
