A member asked:

Our 11-month-old has been biting us. how do we stop it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Consistent response to biting. Every time you child bites, he/she needs to be told no don't bite. You can even place in time out for a minute. No one should be biting you child. It can take up to 2 to 3 weeks of consistent intervention to change the behavior.
