"DO NOT CAUSE PHYSICAL ABUSE BACK ON YOUR CHILD" Just because all these other people giving advice about "bite 'em back" or "smack 'em in the mouth"..say it works for them...it is not the healthiest way to handle biting...
Some Children do not know how to express their feelings and emotions...so they shouldn't be punished for being expressive...this will only shut them down as adults when it comes to communicating with others and sharing their feelings. The source I found at awareparenting.com is VERY helpful. If fact, I have used that technique with my daughter at a very young age. I would tell her "NO Biting" firmly, and tell her that it hurts, and makes Mommy/Daddy very sad (showing her my sad face)..then remove her from the situation. Giving her my undivided attention...and having her focus on something positive. I have also taught my daughter at a young age (7 months) some American Sign Language...she is now 14 and we have continued the ASL lessons...
Just be patient...take a look at the sites I sent and if it doesn't work...always good to talk with your child's pediatrician.
Take Care...Good Luck and God Bless!!

Bite them back.
Saying "Ow!" and things like that will only cause them to think it's a game. They bite and you scream--very fun for a toddler. You need to bite them back. Not hard, just hard enough for them to get the idea that if they bite then they're going to be bit.
At 18 months, they don't realize that what hurts others also hurts them. If you bite them back, they will realize that and stop biting people.

i recognize that no person is going to love my answer, yet this has labored with 4 young ones (2 of my nieces and my 2 babies). chew him back, and don't be gentle! besides the fact that do not draw blood or ruin his arms. A consistent yet employer chew on the finger will teach him that it is not relaxing. be beneficial to describe to him why you bit him. additionally be certain you ask him if he enjoyed it. he will possibly say no. Then make him say he's sorry to the guy he bit. he will understand immediately that biting isn't cool!

We bought our son a book called "Teeth are not for biting" at Border's. Anytime he tries to bite now, we say "OUCH!!! Teeth are not for biting!! Biting hurts!!!" It has really helped us!! Good luck!

Do not bite back. Stop the action, tell them NO! while covering mouth. Tell them again "NO BITING!"

Yes, Smack them in the mouth, not hard but hard enough for them to know it. Do not bite them back it only instigates them and makes them think it is right.
