Biting!! How do I stop it!
Hi girls.
Just a bit of advice needed. I have 16 months old twin boys.
Max has started biting Ben! He has left teeth marks in his fingers and he has even attempted biting me.
I have told him it is naughty but he laughs at me! I have tapped his hand and said no, but I hate doing this.
I dont know what to do to control this. My mum says bite back, but I feel awful doing that!
Anyone had any experience of this and solved it!!??
Thanks
Jenny

I would keep telling him off, and if he persists maybe take something off him that he enjoys or try the naughty step??
I don't actually remember now what i did do with my daughter, but i do know its a pretty common thing for them to pick up.
Good Luck
I personally think it was to do with him teething,but we did tell him it wasn't nice and removed him from the situation he was in at the time,but like your lo he just smiled and laughed!!
In time he has stopped biting thankfully,so i would carry on with what you're doing.Good luck.x
bit of a result today. the boys were playing with toys, ben took something off max, max went to bite, i said no and said naughty, then took toy away from them both. i did this the few times it happened today and it seems to have worked!! fingers crossed!! will see what happens and just keep repeating.
