What Would You Do?

So I have a problem with Dallin, and I wanted all the Mom's I know out there (and even if you're not a Mom, you opinions are appreciated too.) to let me know what they would do. Dallin bites. Not to be mean or when he doesn't get his way. It happens when he's tired and wants to be held. You pick him up and he snuggles into your arms. You hold him, rock him, snuggle with him, kiss him, and next thing you know, he bites you. The Doctor said he is just over zealous when showing affection and I should be careful not to react and make seem like a game to him. How are you suppose to not react when he bites your chin and won't let go? Usually He just bits my shoulder or the inside of my elbow. Any ideas on how to break this habit? Should I worry or not? I don't want to end up with the Biter in the daycare. He only had bitten Russ and I, for now. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks!

IF he was older , I would give different advice, and he doesn't seem to do it out of malice. So I have know idea

I have no idea, but I bet it's a phase and he'll grow out of it.

I wish I could help..but I really don't know! My nephew went through a biting phase where he bit my daughter a lot. I think he didn't realize that it hurt her. They just tried to tell him not to, and eventually he learned. Sorry! Hopefully it's just a phase!
