They only chews on her toys and does not bit our hands or clothes. We never played with them allowing them to chew, or bite at our hands either. Now whenever we say '_______ NO' they will stop whatever they are doing at that time. They really are smart so just be consistant with them and they will catch on. Both of mine are about 15 weeks old now.
I forgot to mention that what I believe the above will teach them is that hands hurt especially at a very young age so I would not do it that way. |
I have to say that I agree with this. I think that the other is a little too harsh! but like I said before...to each his own!
