When did the biting phase start?

  DD was about 14 months.  It took about 6-8 weeks of firmly telling her no, we don't bite it hurts, and removing her from the situation if need be, but she got out of it. The doc also said to catch her before she bites, when she is in a situation where I know she will bite and give her the no we don't bite talk.
  

  She still bites occasionally, but nearly as much as she used to.  I was so worried she was going to get kicked out of daycare.  She bit 4 times one day before lunch.  I was mortified.

  I think part of his problem is that his ability to understand is on that of a 9 month old level and his ability to communicate is on a 6 month old level.

  Kate was bitten by a 16 month old at playgroup earlier this week.  He's also a bit delayed in expressive language.  I've heard that kids who are delayed in language are often more prone to biting since they don't have other ways to express frustration.
