1 year old biting

My daughter was on the receiving end of it once. Not fun or funny, and needs to be nipped in the bud.

How are you doing your time outs?

Nothing works better than a bar of soap in the mouth, and now we have liquid soap alot worse

A slap across the face does. No repeat offenders there.

we pretty much have no clue what we're doing, but know you can't talk rationally to 15 month olds, or expect them to understand time out.

Bite her back J/K
This one of my biggest pet peeves. Human beings DO NOT BITE PEOPLE.
Totally unacceptable. She is so young though. I haven't a clue what to do when they are that young.
She won't understand if you bite back or yell. Remove her from the situation every single time no matter what.
Any child that is acting with unacceptable behaviour needs to be removed away from everyones else. Usually they can't stand "missing" something and will come around.
I am a child care provider and that's the rules we go by in any circumstance.

Not to condone physical abuse, but every time my son would bite, a crack across his diaperless ass ended up doing the trick. Not the first, second, third time but eventually he realized that correlation between biting and his ass stinging.

Having them "drink" soapy water (just a sip. A little dish soap goes a long way) has worked for people I have known to have this problem.

Does your daughter have a playpen/crib area in which she has not started climbing out of yet? Putting her in this for a period of time with no parental attention (obviously you'd check on her without her seeing you) could help out too. There will be a lot of noise!

Actually the combination of the smack on his butt and being "away" from everyone seemed to work well.

If all else fails, break out the pliers!
