Lol, sho cute… :hugz: to baby :@:

Anyways, stopping her or a loud NO will never work out- Believe me!
Only distracting her can get you out of your problem! Kids usually do, what you ask them not to do! doesnt mean you should not stop them to misbehave, but the way you adopted is not the right one! just distract her! eg, when she is biting you, just ignore it and say loud pleasingly.. O! I have heard a cat’s voice… it said, meow, you heard!! Ofcourse she is a little baby, can’t understand your words, but remeber, she can understand her mother’s actions :slight_smile:

Good Luck!

Re: Bites

Yes she understands everything she knows when I m angry with her n when I m happy n sh understand tht wht no means but the thing is she stop at tht time but repeat it again. N whe she stops damage is already done :(
N one thing if she is either very happy or very angry thn she bites else she remains fine

Re: Bites

on serious note, I think, you shout when she bites, is it? if yes, dont do it, she thinks it as a game she is playing and she keeps on repeating it!

Re: Bites

My son did that around few months ago too, like the PP said a loud No won't work because it's more of a game for them & their testing their boundaries.
Right now my son who is 19mnths has stopped biting me but has started slapping me & throwing random toys at me.

At the start i used to pretend to cry n show him im hurt by his actions, now I just do wat I did before, distracting him by changing places or start playing a game like peek a boo or tickling him.

Re: Bites

You should say no, so they understand this is not ok. Then follow by distracting.

15mo are old enough for discipline. And they certainly should understand words by now!

Re: Bites

Yes I distract her but the thing is she stops at tht time but repeat it later.

Yes she understands no n stops at once but agin later repeat it.

i just fully want to omit this thing tht she should not repeat this thing.

Re: Bites

lol I understand, once in a while my second daughter sometimes does the same with me, she thinks its a game and laughs while doing it. I get quite angry with her and show her that she has done a bad thing, but it damn hurts.

Once or twice she bas bitten our baby (11 months old) in payaar and ladh..like she is hugging and kissing her and then all of sudden bit her, thats where she got a bit of spanking on the butt from me, as to show her it hurts and if u do it again it can hurt you too. :-D

Re: Bites

my sil's son was in teh habit of this... he would bite if frustrated, angry or excited.

he bit my son a few times and one day i lost it and told him off real bad. sil heard and came... saw what her kid had done and she told my son to bite him back.. my son did. never again did he bite again. cuz he knew the pain he was causing others. i was worried my son would get the biting fever but thankfully he didnt.

so ya.. bite her back i would say!

my mom says that my kid bro used to bite... she had done everything she could to make him stop... so one day he bite her again and she backhand slapped him on the mouth. problem solved. never bit again.
and my mom rarely raised her hands on us kids.. she wasnt the typical desi mom so dont go thinking maar peet was a norm for her.. but some things she did not stand for at all! Biting was one of em.

Re: Bites

i think i have to be brave n had to hit her once everytime i want i m like ahhhh she is so small she even dont know :( but i thing its high time to do some thing

Re: Bites

say NO, and warn him if you do it again you are going on the naughty step/corner...
then if he repeats stick him on the naughty step away from you for 1.5 min, if he cries let him
afterwards pick him up and tell him why he was on there, its rude to bite etc and then tell him say sorry biting bad and give him hug
repeat process every time it happens he wil get message

Re: Bites

hitting a child or biting back is awful, it breeds violence , your teaching them its okay to do it.

Re: Bites

Puxhi... I used to say that before having kids too... I k owu are a mommy too... Im no advocate for child abuse.. But a light smack on the bum for very naughty behaviour after countless time outs etc, is hardly abuse or violence.

I wouldnt think my sil's son is abused nor my bro.. Ya if u find ureself hitting ure kid everyday... Then u are doing something very wrong... But once in a blue moon... I do it.

I k ow it wasnt directed at me, ure response, but just for the sake of discussion :)

Re: Bites

We have a toddler in the school who has this habit of biting. The teachers are pretty strict with him. They tell him, it is not okay with a very firm face. They keep him with them or have him sit by himself at a table. They also make sure, they get down on knees and look into his eyes when talking. When ever the toddlers are in the gym with my students and that kid tries to bite or hit anyone, the teacher holds his hand and makes him walk with her around the gym for a good 5-10mins or so. It is to basically give him the message that if he bites or hits anyone, he lose his fun time or the opportunity to play with other for little while.
