He does it to help pull himself up (like an extra hand), when he’s teething, frustrated, tired. He mostly bites me and he has 7 teeth.
I’ve ignored it, “scare” scolded, removed myself, removed him. Am I missing something? I feel like I’ve read everything on the internet 5x over.
My mom confided in me that she would have spanked me for that, even at 10 months. I don’t want him to bite others and we’re going to have a new baby in October so I’d really like for this behaviour to go away.
What would you do, bad moms?

Following as our 10 month old does the same for the last month or 2 I thought it was teething but I think it’s more frustrating. I don’t want her to be a biter!

I've never dealt with this personally, so I'm just throwing out suggestions here. I don't think spanking will help the situation. When he does this I would immediately say 'No, that hurts mom' and give him a teether or cool wet towel to both soothe his teething and release his frustrations.
