My 16 month old will bite whenever something happens that he doesn't like; going in the car seat, sitting down to eat. I've been saying 'no' and telling him to be nice, give cuddles etc, so now he bites and then immediately strokes my arm or cuddles me! He particularly likes to bite his older sisters, this is because they squeal a lot I think. He is also quite aggressive in other ways, he hits a lot and throws things at people. I have 2 older girls who went through biting phases but nothing as bad as this. I don't feel he's old enough to reason with or to put on a naughty step. Has anyone experienced anything similar and does anyone have any miraculous cures for this behaviour (I live in hope :) )
