Biting.

[TripleTime]

DH & I need help & pronto.

DD2 has become very much of a biter in the last few days but only towards DD1. She's never bitten either of us or DS. Only ever T.

In the hour they've all been up this morning, A's bitten T 3 or 4 times & than there was last night in the bath when I counted a good half dozen bite marks. I don'th know when or where half if them happened.

Normally biting was few & far between. We'd separate them, bitee would get cuddles & the biter would be taken to the other side of the room. Once everyone calmed down it was cuddles all round.
That's not working anymore. A's a sneaky turd & bites when I'm not looking.

Helllllllpppppppp! This is out of hand

Ruby did as a stim mostly and couldn't control herself seemed it was like she had the urge to bite. One thing they suggested was a sort of teether they wear around the neck for children who bite due to stimming and they are encouraged to bite that instead.

oh hun i know what you are going through, my DD1 was a severe biter to my best friends son, she would bite him all the time & do it when we were not looking as she knew it was the wrong think to do... what we did was give the other child all the attention... asking if he is ok, giving him lots of cuddles, kisses etc.. you get the drift, and eventually DD realised that this was not working for her as this was making him get more "love" than her and she suddenly stopped!! i know its a bit harsh but we were at our wits end with what to do as this poor child was getting bitten everywhere!!!

Oh, I feel for you!

DD3 used to bite DD2. We ended up using an empty port-a-cot as a time out type thing. And lots of cuddles for DD2. It worked well.

But then later on DD2 worked out she could hit DD3 on the head really hard with toys and make her cry. Little terror used to look at me, smirk and hit her and then hit her as many times as she could before I was able to grab it. She soon worked it out that if she did it then she would go in the port-a-cot.

DD2 was a chronic biter. We tried it all (bar biting her back) for months. Sheer Bliss made a suggestion to me and it worked brilliantly! When she was going in to bite we'd say 'don't bite,kiss.' Problem was solved within a couple of weeks.

She was always worse when teething too so new teeth coming might be the cause for the sudden increase in biting. Giving her something else to bite on might help.
