"Hi I'm Veronica Baragas with mywigglesandgiggles.com, and today I'm going to share with you how to stop a teething baby from biting. Usually when the children are teething they are going through a lot of pain. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish where the tooth is coming in, or how to handle the situation. I would definitely start off with some teething rings, some teething tablets, Oragel. Do some research though before you do happen to give your child these medications. Depending on whether it a homeopathic or you want to look for things that are safer. Children under three months up to six months or nine months. So there are different categories you can choose from. You can also do frozen teething rings, you can do plenty of things that I guess could soothe your baby. If you want to keep them secluded sometimes when they are having a really tough time, giving them some time to themselves, some isolation maybe. It's a lot easier to keep an infant from biting, because they may not be as mobile as a toddler. But just know that they are in pain, and that it's not something that they're doing maliciously. It's just something to relieve their pain, so if you could think of other ways, maybe frozen foods or something of that sort that won't harm them, but give them some relief or pressure from their teeth. So just kind of get to know your baby and see what works best for them. I know it's probably not going to be easy for you to see them teething or biting, but just do a little bit more research. And if it persist and it, you're having trouble keeping it under control once again you know consult your pediatrician or doctor. Or maybe family and friends who have maybe gone through the same situations. And also work with a childcare provider to keep things consistent, and see what methods or ways that she is using with your baby as well. So that's what I would do try to keep a toddler from, I'm sorry a teething baby from biting."
