13 Month Old Biting

i never bit my biter babe. i don't know how to explain to such a young child that it's ok for mami to bite you but not ok for you to bite your sister.
she would bite constantly ever since she started getting teeth. she'd get time out if she bit her sister.
around the 2 year old birthday she got tired of timeouts due to biting and she stopped biting.
good luck

HI S. I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN AND I HAVE BEEN IN THE DAYCARE FIELD FOR OVER 13 YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS A STAGE SOME CHILDREN GO THROUGH. I HAVE SEEN MANY PARENTS TRY DIFFERENT PUNISHMENTS. MY SUGGESTION TO YOU IS BE CONSISTENT. I WOULD DO TIME OUT EVERYTIME SHE BITES AT SOME POINT SHE IS GOING TO STOP BITING BECAUSE SHE WONT LIKE IMEOUT. SHE ONLY SITS FOR A MINUTE THOUGH BEAUSE SHE IS ONLY 13 MONTHS. DONT WORRY SWEETIE IT WILL PASS. SHE WILL MOVE ON TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS. GOOD LUCK STEPH

Maybe she is teething and her mouth is sore. Maybe you can try offering her a teething ring or something eles she can chew. I hope this helps. Let us know how she is doing.

http://www.naturalchild.org/guest/linda_passmark.html is a good article on biting.

Gotta do time-out in the corner with a stern "no biting Mommy." (one minute for each year of age in the corner) and stick to your guns!
