My 12-month-old has decided that everything: people, toys, the dog, my arm is snackable 
. He bites constantly and the reactions from other parents are starting to feel like side eye central. I’m so tired of apologizing and trying to explain that no, I’m not raising a tiny vampire. Is this just a phase? Please tell me someone else has been through this.
Teething? Or training to join the WWE?

Hang in there, mine did this too, and it stopped after a couple of months. It will get better.

Ugh, yes, I had a biter! My son once chomped a little girl at daycare and I just wanted to crawl into a hole. It’s so embarrassing trying to explain. But we got through it with lots of gentle touch reminders. You’re not alone!

It’s a phase! I know it feels like it’ll never end, but they grow out of it. My oldest was a biter, tooevery time he bit we would calmly say, “no biting,” and show him how to be gentle. It takes time but youll get there.
We went through the same thing! My daughter bit everything, the furniture, the dog’s tail, even my big toe once. I felt like I was living in a shark tank. But one day, she just stopped out of nowhere. Hang in therethere’s hope at the end of the bite-filled tunnel!
I know the struggle. When my kid started biting, it felt like every playdate turned into a bite a thon. The worst was when he bit another mom. It’s like walking on eggshells waiting to see who’s going to get bit next. But honestly, you’re doing the best you can. Teething, frustration, excitement it all just spills out in bites sometimes. It won’t last forever. In the meantime, deep breaths, snacks for you, and maybe stick to Zoom playdates for a bit
