What do you do with a biting 1 year old? I swear, if he bites his big brother one more time today, I'm gonna lose it! I know that he's only 15 months old and can't voice his frustrations yet and that's how he deals with it. But it's totally unacceptable behavior and he needs to be taught that he can't do it. But how???

I'm going through the same thing my son is 14months and bites everyone!

Bite him.  

DS has been taught "gentle". No hair pulling, hitting, etc. If he bites we say no biting, take away whatever he bit (usually toes) and take his hand and rub them and say gentle. He usually laughs, but we stay consistent with it.

Have him bite into a piece of fruit like an apple, show him the bite marks and explain that thats what hes leaving on his brother and it hurts.

Quoting Kimber-lily:" Bite him.  "

I'm ready to put his fingers in his mouth and make him bite himself!

He's 15 months old. He won't understand that.

That might work.

This is pretty much we've done. It's a slow fix but she understands "gentle" in a variety of situations now.

I think I'll try it the next time he bites. And the way he's been going today, that will only be a few minutes from now!

bite back, i only had to do it once when my son did it to me and he got that it hurts...i told him "it hurts! you do not bite." he understood and was about 18 months. good luck. its a hard habit to break once it starts.

My 13, almost 14 month old does it to his brother..

I just keep removing him and telling him its not nice to bite.. He doesnt do it as often. He is trying to kiss him when he does it too lol but he doesnt understand how to kiss lol
