Yes, I have a biter and I am the one most frequently bitten. When he first started biting, I thought he was just mad at me. Now, I've come to find out that he bites when he wants me to play with him. He thinks it's silly and fun. I think it hurts. A lot. It's not that I'm purposely ignoring him either. I'm usually making him dinner or a bottle or doing dishes, but all of this is lost on him. He just knows he wants to play with mom.

Swee'Pea is a biter too! He made me cry one day... it totally hurt my feelings and I came inside from playing and seriously just had to have a time out to collect myself... I know that sounds horrible but I think it was the straw that broke the camel's back that day... I know he doesn't do it to be mean... but seriously, is there such a thing as nice biting?! :)
Ok lets throw them all into baby biting boot camp! I was just talking to a dear friend today that has three kids and I was begging for some advice with this biting thing, but none of her kids were biters =( Peyton does not bite me so much ... mostly just his helpless little cousin Bree ... none of the others! I have no idea why! But it is REALLY bad!
Micah doesn't bite other kids...just his parents!
maybe it's a sign of affection??? he loves you so much, he just wants to nibble you :) heck, at least he's cute, so what if he bites :)
Have you started time-outs yet? Maybe giving him a time-out for biting would do the trick. If it's just an attention getter, he might not be aware that it's wrong.
You're right Kelly, I probably should do a time out with him. Maybe on the second bite in a small amount of time I'll put him in time out. It did work well once when we did it.
