1-year-old 3-month-old baby eats milk and bites people.

Bao loves to bite people for four reasons.

1. The baby has teeth.

I believe most mothers have such doubts: before the baby was 6 months old, it was almost never bitten, but after the baby had teeth, nipple biting became a "common occurrence". Why?

Under normal circumstances, the baby will sprout the first tooth in his life in about 6 months, and the baby is very painful when teething, and the gum will feel uncomfortable such as swelling or itching, so the baby will become irritable and like to bite, and the mother's nipple is a good choice. The baby will bite the nipple to reduce the discomfort of the gum. This is usually the main reason why babies bite their mother's nipples.

In addition, it has something to do with the mother's incorrect posture when nursing. As we all know, under normal circumstances, the baby's mouth should contain most of the areola when nursing. If the baby's sucking position changes and slides in the direction of the nipple, and the mother does not correct it in time, it is easy for the baby to bite the nipple.

mothers should not wean their babies for fear of being bitten, because breast milk is the best nutrition for babies. So how can we improve the situation of being bitten?

of course! In order to avoid being bitten, mothers should pay attention to observing the baby's sucking movements when breastfeeding. Once the baby's sucking position is found to have changed, it should be adjusted as soon as possible to prevent biting the nipple. If the baby really bites the nipple, the mother can gently press the baby's head to the breast and block his small nose, so that the baby will automatically loosen his mouth because of poor suction.

In addition, in order to relieve the discomfort in teething period, the mother can prepare some gutta percha or molar toys for the baby at ordinary times, so that he can enjoy a bite. However, it should be noted that these toys for grinding the baby's teeth should be disinfected frequently to prevent the baby from eating bacteria into the body and causing diseases.

2. Expressing willingness

When the baby is about 1 year old, the desire to communicate with people becomes stronger. However, at this stage, the baby can't express his wishes because he can't speak or can only speak one or two words, so the baby will attract the attention of adults by biting or pushing and pulling, so as to realize his goal of communicating with people.

At this stage, the baby can generally understand the meaning of some words. Therefore, parents should repeatedly and clearly tell the baby that "biting will hurt" and guide him to express his feelings by language, gestures and hugs.

If a child is hungry, you can teach him to point his finger at his mouth or stomach. If children want to express good feelings, they can be guided to say "Hello!" And encourage him to show friendliness by shaking hands or hugging; If the child wants to refuse others, guide the child to say "no" or shake his head. Once the child has mastered the way of communicating with others, the biting behavior will gradually disappear.

3. Venting emotions

After the baby is one year old, his self-awareness is getting stronger and stronger, and his happy and unhappy emotions are obviously more. When he feels unhappy or dissatisfied, or when he feels scared, nervous or stressed, he may also vent his anger by biting.

In the face of a baby with this situation, the best way is for parents to give him full care and meet the baby's reasonable needs in time, so as to avoid the baby's negative emotions to the maximum extent. Parents should constantly prove to their baby that when he is angry and upset, there is a better expression than biting. If he can't express his opinion clearly, he can ask his parents for help.

In addition, parents should not make their babies too excited at ordinary times, but should pay attention to maintaining the harmony of family atmosphere and appropriately increasing their children's daily game activities, which can effectively control their excitement caused by biting.

4. Imitation behavior

Babies have strong imitation ability. If parents usually have the habit of gently biting their baby's fingers and cheeks to show intimacy, or if there are children around the baby who bite and are not criticized, the baby will look at these behaviors and imitate them.

Tips

Baby biting is a behavior habit gradually formed in life. Parents must choose appropriate ways to help their baby get rid of this bad habit in daily care, otherwise the baby's future growth will be greatly affected!
