With my older child I never had to deal with biting, giving or receiving. He was home with Grammy and protected from biters. Now my 1 year old is in daycare and has been bitten by the same child more than a dozen times in four months, or so it seems. I have to count the incident reports.
Two months ago the daycare told me they were addressing the situation with the biter's parents. Well, it hasn't stopped and it has recently gotten worse. Now instead of my little one coming home with a little red mark that lasts a day or two, he's coming home with a mark that lasts a week or more. The biter is really getting a mouthful and he's only going to get bigger!
I'm standing on them with two feet to remedy the situation, quick! They have been very accomodating with my children's special dietary restrictions and many of the staff are outwardly mothering and lovely to my children. So, I don't want to start a war, but this has to stop. If you've dealt with any biters, I'd love to hear about your experience. Hurry, before my kid starts biting back!
Here's an interesting article on babycenter about a biter and some other mom comments on dealing with biting or biters in their childs lives.
