Biting...

Did I mention that T has trouble with biting!?  Oh my goodness!  Can you buy muzzles for toddlers?  T has now bit another little boy.  No one will ever want to play with us now that we have a biter on our hands.  We have got to get this under control and I don't know what to do.  Our pedatrician suggested that we pull him away from us and in a very stern voice say...NO BITING!  We are also supposed to hold his arms down for about 30 seconds or so.  This isn't working.  He laughs at us everytime.  I have also spanked him and that didn't work.  He laughs.  Why is it so funny?  He is definitely ruling over both of us. We aren't in charge at all!  I need help.  He tries to bite us in public and I can barely hold him because its like holding a crocodile on your hip.   He is squirming and trying to get down and then biting.  It makes me feel very defeated!  If you have any advice let me know.  I know that his teeth do hurt.  He has several coming in but he is doing it for attention, also.  Help me.....

  1. Soap. I've told several ppl about it and thus far it has worked every time. If he bites anybody then he "gets" to bite the bar of soap. I hope it works for you. MHB
