My son was a massive biter in the 1/2 YO class (sometimes so many times he got kicked out of school for the day) and I was blessed with a daycare teacher who tracked when he was doing it. It came down to frustration. The friend could walk and he couldn’t yet or could talk and he couldn’t yet, etc. She advised we take one of those thick cactus teethers and tell him when he’s frustrated to grab that cactus and bite it. Sounds silly, but it worked. He’d go grab it. Then, once he was older and could do the same as friends and understood we didn’t need it anymore. Obviously this requires buy in from anyone who watches the child through the day, but might help.

Biting at daycare -
Best go-to easy dinnerWhen I can I try to meal prep on Sunday and cook a lot of ground turkey or beef then throughout the week I’ll do different meals - quesadillas, spaghetti, brown rice/black bean/corn/meat bowls. Another favorite is turkey or chicken sausage on a sheet pan with the stir fry carrots/broccoli bag tossed in olive oil with Italian seasoning in the oven for 20 mins.
