My dd does these things too! I've been wondering what to do to communicate to her that it hurts me. I've noticed she does it more when she is tired to avoid going to sleep. She'll do anything to avoid sleeping. I'd love to know what to do.

I think this is a good idea.

Just wanted to share that we found that ds1 was biting us a LOT when he was around a year old or so and it dawned us that we had long used biting as an expression of affection: "I want to nibble on those toes," and "oooh, I'm going to eat that belly," that kind of thing. He was definitely biting us out of love, not aggression -- so we became a lot more careful about what we said.

I am having the same troubles with dd at 10 months old. She is constantly biting, grabbing hair, pinching my neck etc. I do say the "no that hurts mommy" and try to show her "nice touch" or "show mama lovies", she doesn't quite get it yet though
