Be consistent. If you keep taking their milk away when they bite they learn the consequences of biting. I am a firm believer in not allowing my kid to just sit and cry but the ONLY way she got it was when I physically took her and sat her in her crib to cry for a few minutes when she bite me for the third time in a row. Since she hates being separated from me she finally got it that if I keep doing this fun thing mommy moves me away from her. You'll know what will work for your child but it's okay to let them cry and get frustrated for a bit so they start to learn that hurting us doesn't get them what they want.
