Toddler biting baby sibling and other children
I'm at my wits end with my 25 month old daughter. She has gone through phases over the last year of biting other children, but recently this has go much worse. We now have a 3 month old daughter as well, and we are currently seeing some really nasty behaviour. Over the last week, every time she's been at nursery she's bitten about 4 or 5 children each day, and has also been biting her baby sister on her hand, arm and this week her nose, despite me trying to be ultra vigilant.
We are trying to discipline her by using a naughty step and now we are also stopping her bedtime story if she bites, but I'm not convinced this is having the desired effect. She is otherwise lovely despite fairly typical headstrong toddler behaviour and the odd tantrum, but she's getting a bit of a reputation and I'm struggling to hold it together with her when she has been biting her baby sister, as I find it so upsetting, and I hate her seeing me cry.....
Has anyone else had similar experiences, and if so how did you deal with it?
Any help would be really appreciated as I don't know what to do next........
Thank you,

Good luck! And I hope she grows out of it soon.
My friend had an issue with her daughter and she bit her back. Its maybe not ideal but she did it and her daughter never bit anyone after that!! Its not very PC but worked for her.
