Daycare actually even made me give the pacifier back to my 16 month old which I prefer he didn't have during the day. I didn't want to get kicked out of day care so gave in (they didn't threaten to kick us out but I feel like all eyes are on us at all times). I have no idea what to do to be honest. I've resorted to chew toys and crunchy foods (both recommended by day care). He doesn't bite at home, only day care and he's the youngest in his class. I think it's for attention since he gets one on one time from us but one of 7 during the day. I hope this phase is over soon!<br />Jamienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448057296613313358.post-45375456272176040892012-08-05T21:58:52.703-04:002012-08-05T21:58:52.703-04:00Thanks for sharing, Alyce!

The more I hear from moms who say they have or have had a child that bites, the more I am reassured that it is normal and that this stage will pass!Love and Life Cardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05354911604037248747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8448057296613313358.post-4354730656593399672012-07-30T21:23:34.506-04:002012-07-30T21:23:34.506-04:00Don't be ashamed! I have a biter too. As an ...Don't be ashamed! I have a biter too. As an infant he chewed through our furniture and more (...ouch) and now he has moved onto digits in particular. At 18 months he clearly knows that it is wrong but he can't seem to help himself. He does it when he is excited or a little tired at the end of the day but usually not maliciously. Actually, he usually does it with a little impish grin. When he bites me I tell him that he hurt me and make the sign for "hurt." He makes the sign for "sorry" and will pat my face gently and give me a kiss. Then he'll bite me again. I am counting on #4 - "it's just a phase" but I wouldn't mind if this one would pass quickly, please!Alycenoreply@blogger.com
