Okay, non of my kids bit until the last one, and I understand your pain.
Pop his little mouth or cheek EVERY TIME. I tried all the non-violent ways, and this worked for me the second time. Now I am not saying to deck him, but make it sting.

I'm going through the same thing. I have a two and a half year old who's started biting and I'm 4 weeks from having my baby. One thing I have found with him is that he does bite other children when they are playing. But usually when its over a toy or if he gets pushed. When he's around babies I've taught him to be careful and I keep a good eye on him. But I think that he bites other children when he is provoked. A little baby doesn't do anything for a few months. Hopefully yours and mine will be out of the biting stage when the babies start to actually play.

I know other participants have been rude and one has even gone as far as to create a question about you, so you will not get any of that from me.
I too have a two year old and am pregnant. (I also have a 7 & 6 year old.) I suggest you try a sibling rivialry class that can teach you and your son how to deal with a new family member. If you are not up for that, then try everytime your son gets near you to tell him "Nice, be nice. There's a baby in here." Take his little hand and gently rub your belly with it, while saying the be nice statement. Something else you might want to try is guilt - I know that may sound weird, but if I cry my 2 year old gets sad. So when he does something wrong, I fake cry and he stops. If things are really bad then try putting him in time out. He isn't too young for that. Good luck!

Don't bite him back!!! You do need to have some form of punishment for this type of behavior... you don't want him biting the new baby... I'm sure you are telling him no-no... maybe put something in his mouht that tastes awful... but not harmful... maybe tha pepper stuff they sell to put on finger nails to aid people into stop biting there nails... and of course there is the good old fashion swat on the butt... or take away a toy... as far as him not wanting the baby, at 2yo I don't think he realizes what he's saying... encourage him that he will love the baby for he will have someone to play with all the time... Good Look Darlin'... your awfully young... I hope you have support from family

I have read alot of these answers and the key thing is CONSISTANCY!!!! Keep punishing him everytime.. Dont let him get away with it at anytime. Because you may have him trained not to do it then the first time you dont do anything about it he takes that as a sign you wont do anything about it the time after that. You know this sounds wierd but when he bits you bite him back.. he doesnt relize the pain he is inflicting so by you doing it to him will make him think twice. Dont bite THAT hard to where he crys but to the point where he says "owe" then explain to him that thats what it feels like when he does it and if he doesnt like it than how do you think that makes you feel?

2 year olds often bite,hit or push. You just have to be firm and repetative. When he bites say a good firm "no!" and move him away from you. Let him stand away from you for a few seconds so he knows you mean what you say. Do the same each time. He will want to be close to you, so being put down or moved away will not be what he wants at all. He will learn and eventually outgrow it. He cannot hurt the baby by biting your stomach.

Flick his mouth when he does and firmly tell him NO BITING! If you don't want to do the flicking, then put him firmly in time out for 2 minutes. If he doesn't want to sit you need to stay on it until he does. He'll eventually figure out that you're not going to give in and let him up and stay there. You can also bite back to let him see how bad it hurts. Good luck!!

in my honest opinion this is a case of spare the rod spoil the child...I see alot of parents letting their children get away w/ murder for whatever reason...i would have some harsh strong words w/ my child if he or she tried to physically assault me...if it continued i wouldn't hesitate spanking time...the child wont bite you again..parenting isn't easy...but its something most people have to face...running away from it wont make it any better...in fact it will make it worse...I hope the day will come when people can differentiate the time for liberal and conservative thought and action...its a balancing act...I hope this helps...gl...

My son went through that too. What I did was let him know it was not good. Tell him no-no very firmly and then let him know more sweetly that that hurts mommy. Good luck with this and be patient
Here are some more sites on it as well.
