My daughter is 6 months old and she has 6 teeth already. Everyone started warning us that she'll start biting us soon. Did your child bite when they started teething? I don't think all kids go thru that stage.

I did forget to mention she grinds her teeth! VERY frustrating! LOL

My 3 son's NEVER bit anyone! Okay, my two youngest acted like it... but never bit me. It was like a little threat, and it only happened once and they thought it was funny. None of my children ever made a habit of biting. I think some kids are genetically predisposed to biting. But I think if you try to fill your childs needs, then they don't get frustrated to the point of biting another person. Make sure she has teething items that are appropriate for teething. If she feels like chewing, or you see her chewing her fingers or something... hand her a teething toy. Don't worry, your child may never ever feel the need to bite anyone! Best of luck!

NOPE! he did start gumming me hard before he ever got teeth but I told him "no more milk if you bite down" and i pulled him off and he quickly learned not to! He's 15 months now, still breastfeeding and doesn't bite. He accidently did one time and I didn't say or do anything so it wouldn't scare him but he knew what he did and cried. I felt so bad because he's so sensitive and knows if he's hurt someone or something. He accidently stepped on a catterpillar and it got squished and he cried so hard.

only 1 of my kids was a biter but all i did was tap him on the mouth and he stopped doing it . with a baby you have to watch becasue they will act like they are going to lay thier head in your shoulder then they will bite you

I think mine bit once or twice, but they learned that as soon as they bit me, nursing was over!
