10 month old bites!

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.

Male nursery worker

Am I being unreasonable? I feel uncomfortable with a male nursery worker changing my daughter’s nappies. I was told he was “helping out” for a day? But no explanation was given. Can I raise it with the head without being seen as problematic? To be completely honest, I found it unsettling and odd he just appeared out of the blue..

Screen-Free

Any other moms doing no screens? How do you get anything done or deal with the crying?? I feel like I never get a moment for myself or to even do things that need to be done like cleaning or cooking. My baby loves to be held all day but hates carriers. No judgement please! We are trying to do no screens for the first two years. Sometimes I have to just let him cry for a bit while I do something for myself and it feels awful. And let's not even get into the screaming in the car...I don't know if it's true and I feel kinda bad for saying this but I feel like screen-free parents just deal with a lot more crying 😞

Childminders

After a bit of advice. My son has been at a childminders since September last year. I'm finding her to be increasing unreliable, so far this year she's had 4 days closed and multiple times when I drop him off she informs me I need to collect him early, sometimes 2 hours early.
This is losing me money as I have a job that I can then not go to, as it's too short notice to arrange alternative childcare.
I've not had a childminder before, so I'm unsure if this is the norm?
