Bite him back.
Put in a cage...lol jk
Teach him what grounded means. No desert, treats, T.V., etc
Or something that is actually more likely to work on someone older, but still works about 76% of the time. Ignore him. Do what you regularly do, feed him, put him to sleep, etc. I don't suggest this to little ones, they need attention..you know.

My littel girl used to do that but put him in a time out. Then also bite him back too and don't be affraid they will lern but dont do it too hard to leave marks or anything of that.

Bite him back. Not so hard that it leaves a bruise or draws blood.. just hard enough to where he knows what it feels like. That stopped my oldest two kids dead in their tracks. He knows better!

You have to bite him back, but harder....my niece kept biting me, and I bit her, until she learned. When disciplining, always do what the child does, but up a level, then for them it turns into a lesson.

well i dont mean to sound harsh or anything but you need to find out a taste that he doesnt like. my cousins son used to do that to me so i put vinegar on my arm where he bites most and he has never bit me since. put something on your arm that he dosnt like the taste of. i hope that helped...sorry if it didnt!=)

It is very tempting to bite your child back or smack him, but that only tends to enforce the need for attention by being bad.
When he bites you again try crying very hard and telling him he hurt you badly. Say that you love him very much but you don't like that he bites you. If he is sorry make a big fuss about forgiving him and tell him that you love it very much when he doesn't bite.
I know it sounds a bit crazy but it might be worth a try. If you praise the good and try to ignore the bad, it does work quite well.
Obviously he may just be in pain and bites you because you comfort him. Tell him it's wrong every time, but please try not to smack him.

Bite him back. Not hard, just enough to show him how it feels. He'll stop.
My mom did that to me and I'm not deranged or damaged mentally from it.
