Mommy should notice the cause of biting in order to solve the problem the right way. If they bite because their teeth are growing, try to find soft rubber toys for them to play to reduce their gum irritation. After their teeth are fully grown, this habit will stop. If the habit persists, mommy should carefully find the cause to prevent the habit from beyond control.
2. Do not pay much attention as they draw your interest : Sometimes kid draw parents’ attention aggressively including biting. Therefore, if you see them bite to draw your attention.
