There are certainly stategies for stopping the behavior, but when is "enough, enough?" (as the OP asked) 6 weeks is a LONG time for a child to not "get it", and a VERY long time for the victim to be victimized. There is also a significant dfiierecnce, developmentally, between a 19 month old and a two year old.
IMO, there is NEVER a good enough reason to tolerate excessive biting, and (at least once) weekly biting incidences for OVER 6 weeks is EXCESSIVE.
