You need to find out what is making him bite others in his daycare. Sometimes it could be because another child is biting too. If another child is doing the biting and he sees this he maybe acting out what the other child is doing and the daycare is not seeing this! Have his daycare watch the group and see how it all starts! Once you find out how it is being started you should go from there! Maybe if you were to observe with out your child seeing you there you could find out why he is doing it!! Good Luck!!

If there is anything he is totally into( I know, he's only 11 mos. old) try to make sure he has it at the daycare. Then maybe he'd be absorbed too much with that to bite. It's probably just an expression of anxiety or maybe his gums hurt and he's frustrated. Are the other children friendly in any way? When he makes friends he will probalby come out of it. Another option(and I don't know how realistic this is for you) could be to have someone stay with him at daycare not as a buddy but just to stop this behavior if it starts, for maybe a couple days so he can understand this is not acceptable. Possibly a teen or someone who has the time would do it for not very much and it would only be for a few days.

I agree. My son was hitting for awhile until we figured out he was having a hard time with the amount of kids and ws overwhelmed. He was havinga hard time communicating with the kids and was not getting enough one on one with the teachers. Talk to the teachers about maybe watching him and also making sure when he plays it is with kids that are mentally and physically the same as him ie: he should not be around 3-4 yr olds that can speak and have better motor skills

Seems to me like he's probably frustrated and/or overwhelmed with the other children. He's probably using bitting as a formof communication with the other children to lash out his anger at not being able to use the toy they have in their hands for example. I know that at that age, if I was bitten, I would instantly drop what I had in my hands and it would be up for grabs.
Talk to his teachers about it. They need to show him just like at home, bitting is unacceptable. And if he bites, he won't be able to play with the toys or with the other children. Maybe they can do a time out if they don't already.
Good Luck!

My daughter did this and they did ask me to remove her. She also would never do this at home. I asked my Sister who is a stay at home mom to watch her and my daughter did not have that problem at her house. I think she felt overwhelmed with so many other children and not getting enough one on one attention. I wish I could tell you something more helpful but that is how we resolved our problem.

I think you should go to the day care center and maybe sit in there for a while so your child know of your presence

He is a baby.
He hasn't started speaking.
He wants to say -I don't like the "Day Care".Take me with you.
So he is putting his unspoken words into action by biting.

Give him something to take to day care with him. Tell him to bite that.
Tell him, ....It's okay to bite "this" but not okay to bite people.
