Start saying NO_NO! and mean it. give him a couple of months to actually "get it" though. my son didn't bite but i'd say no-no to him trying to grab at certain items he can't have and now at 15 months, the problem is solved. he'll come around. good luck

Don't give it any attention ans see if the habit goes away. If it persists then I would give him time out. If it still continue try a tiny bit a cayenne pepper on the tip of the tongue. my son's been biting for 2 years now and the only result I have gotten is from cayenne pepper, it sound cruel, but I've tried just about everything.

whenever he bites give him a frozen carrot put something bitter on the carrot and ask him to bite that after he's been nasty, try that 4-5 times whenever he tries biting put a frozen carrot in his mouth, babies hate anything above or below room temperature so he won't like that at all, though it'll be good for him if he's teething, you won't feel guilty of punishing him this way and he'll learn a lesson not to bite anybody or momma will get the frozen carrot...hope this helps i've tried with my daughter,niece nephew and its always helped us

When did this start? Has something happened, like a change in home circumstance?
My daughter was biting at about this age. I think she was doing it as a sign of frustration, as she was smaller than her twin brother,and slower at walking than him.
It may be his only way of communicating his anger / frustration at the moment. My daughter grew out of it when she started to talk and walk.
You can only tell him not to do it, and be worried if he's still doing it when he's 2. My guess it that it's just a phase.

Bite him back....he will learn....some people are not going to like that I know, but it works.....and so does spanking if you catch them in the act so the know what they are getting into trouble for.

lightly tap your son on the back of his hand as if you were popping his hand and firmly tell him "No-No"! Maybe softly bite him and let him see that biting isn't good because it hurts people.....but still say the "no-no" firmly.

Okay I'll prob. get a bunch of thumbs downs for this but... some pediatricians suggest gently biting them back, I know I know sounds awful but it can work you just have to not do it to hard sorry I know how much doing this can break your heart, good luck!

You need to talk to him and let him know it is wrong. Find ways to punish him. Take away toys, TV

When he bites spank him. No kid likes it, but it sure does teach them a lesson. And buy him one of those 'teether' thingies.
