A. this is the usual behaviour of the kids in this age it may be because of that teeeathing process you can just distract the baby into more interesting and playful activities and counsel the child and reward when she does not do it

Ankita MehtaMom of a 9 yr 3 m old girl4 years ago

A. yes ,it might be . and yes ,it also happens that kids try to get their parents attention through this. so please spend quality time with your child. whenever your child bite or try to bite ,tell your child in firm voice that it hurts others. and try to distract your child by giving toys or activities. but please don't make fun of your child and don't scold or yell at your child for this.

A. hi it might be teething. so ,first try to soothe your child Itchy and sore gums by gently rubbing his/her gums. you can give silicone teether to chew. I would suggest Babyhug silicone teether for this.
