I just had to shadow it seems like forever but finally he stopped. The other thing I learned from having a biter or two in the past is the bitee should have long sleeves and long pants on to minimize the pain.
The mom of the child he bit was very understanding. The reason was because I had the sibling of the biten child years ago. She reminded me that her son was the biter and now her daughter was the bitee.
If you just can't see shadowing him for as long as it takes, then for your own peace of mind you'd have to term.
It might also work to have a teething ring necklace and tell him to bite that.

To me this seems crazy, if you have to cover another child to protect them from someone else.....how is this normal??
