Advice for handling young biters
If you're child is still in the biting phase, or you have a baby who will undoubtedly evolve into a biter, you may want to read this article.
Dr. Barbara Waddell, a school psychologist who wrote an article for the Martinsburg (West Virginia) Journal, gives some great insight into why our children bite and how to control the chomping.
At 21 months old, my son has moved on from the biting phase and is squarely embedded in the pinching phase. (It's not as painful as when his little jaw used to clamp down on the back of my thigh, but it still hurts.)
Good luck.

I think your link is dead.... I'm wondering what the article said. Often, I bite my son back! Not too hard, but enough.
