My girl bites me!!!

Thanks for the response. We decided to give her 2 more weeks (She has been like this for over 3 weeks). If she still bites after using all the methods, we will train her to use bottle. Another headache!!!

Agreed!! My boy is going on 7 months and there are 3 teeth coming up. Sometimes he bites me while breastfeeding and I will then do exactly what Icedlemonad said and he looks like understand that and will stop !!

Hi,

Some babies started to have teeth at around this time and their gum becomes very sore. They wanted to bit on something to ease the gum. So some moms will give baby something to bite, such as those teething rings, and may chill it for more soothing effent. Then to teach the baby if he want to bite, mummy will give him the teething ring to bite.

The method I learnt: When she bites...
1. stop the feeding
2. tell her very seriously (no need to be angry), "Don't bite! It hurts mommy!"
3. resume feeding
4. If she bites the 2nd time, stop the feeding again
5. tell her "Don't bite! It hurts mommy!" again
6. end this feeding session

(If she's hungry, you may start the next feeding session earlier.)

Soon she'll learn that biting is related to no feeding.

you can tell her "No" and looking at her seriously, everytime she bites, tell her n do the same looking, until she knows it's not unacceptable. give her time to learn :)
