Then, I picked him up and gave him a toy that he usually chews on. I tried this about 3 times and he got it and now he's not biting at all.

It was really hard to ignore him for 30 seconds though lol
Wow, that sounds like a great technique. Thanks for the tip.

I wonder if it will work when he's biting his little brother.
