My 13 month old son has started biting me! Not while feeding thankfully but he'll pull himself up while I'm doing the dishes for example and take a chunk out of my leg!

I have tried saying 'please don't bite me, it hurts', and I have tried yelping loudly, but he gets upset and out comes the bottom lip and the tears... He bit me on the chin while we were at the doctors the other day and I had to go and check for blood (there wasn't any but it really hurt...)

Any ideas of causes or solutions/ experience of similar..?

Hi I too had a little biter some children seem to be more inclined to bite than others! I found that the only thing that worked was the second i felt the teeth sinking was to put the child down very firmly say no and walk away. You may need to just ignore the trembling lip and tears as it is probably quite important that they make the link between biting and them feeling a bit miserable as you dont want your little biter to think its funny getting mummy to react! At 13 months they are too young to be reasoned with or understand that they have hurt you.


whilst my daughter did stop quite quickly what i did notice is that at various points of change ie new child at childminder, starting school and loss of grandfater the biting would make a very fleeting appearance !

My son bit for a while, maybe for a about a month, and then the phase passed on its own. I didn't do anything to stop it, it just stopped on its own in time - but, like you, there were a few painful moments and I had to increase my observational skills when he was around others and other babies. He doesn't do it at all now and hasn't for months. It may just pass on its own...try not to worry about it too much for now.

One of my sisters was a biter and he had a go at me, the next time he tried I just pushed my clenched fist into his


mouth, which he did not like and never attempted to bite me again,


but he carried on biting other unsuspecting victims.


He should've been thrashed wi''in an inch of his life, and sent to bed wi' out any tea. That'd teach 'em.

Our middle daughter went through a terrible biting / hitting stage at around 18mths. Mainly directed at her older sister and in frustration. We would say a sharp 'no' pick her up, put her in the playpen and leave the room until the screaming and sobs subsided. Didn't take long for the penny to drop.

    • Every year they ask for more and every year it is an exhausting process pushing back on that for local residents and councillors. What annoys me is that at the post event consultation/ feedback this year, I specifically asked them if the rumours around applying for two weekends next year were true. They told me no. So that was a lie. Anyway, we go again.

    • Rant ahead: You're not one of them but unfortunately, there's a substrate of posters here that do very little except moan and come up with weird conspiracy theories. They're immediately highly critical of just about any change, and their initial assumption is that everyone else is a total fucking contemptible idiot. For example: don't you think that the people who run the libraries will have considered the impact of timing of reconstruction on library users? (In fact, we know they have - because they've made arrangements at other libraries to attempt to mitigate the disruption). After all, these are the people that spend their whole working week thinking about libraries and dealing with library users (and the kids especially). You don't go into the library game for the chicks and fame - so it's fair to assume that librarians are committed to public service and public access to libraries, including by kids. Likewise the built environment people (engineers, architects, construction managers, project managers, construction contractors, subcontractors or whoever is on this job) are told to minimise disruption on every job they do. The thing that occurs to us as amateurs within 30 seconds of us seeing something is probably not something a full time professional hasn't thought about! Southwark Council, the NHS, TfL, Dulwich Estate, Thames Water, Openreach - they're not SPECTRE factories filled with malevolent chaosmongers trying to persecute anyone. They're mostly filled with people who understand their job and try to do their best with what they've been given - just like all of us. Nobody is perfect or immune from challenge, and that's fair enough, but why not at least start from the assumption that there's a good reason why things have been done the way they have? Any normal person would be pleased that their busy, pretty, lively local library is getting refurbished, and will have more space and facilities for kids and teens, and will be more efficient to run and warmer in winter. But no, EDT_Forumite_752 had kids who did an exam 20 years ago, and this makes them an expert on library refurbishment who can see it's all just stuff and nonsense for the green agenda and why can't it all be put off... 😡😡😡
    • I completely misread the previous post, sorry. For some reason I thought the mini cooper was also a police vehicle, DUH.
