[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You aren’t going to be able to figure this out and that is ok. If it was me, take care of the bite mark and let it go. [/quote]

OP here. Thank you for this take. I'm spiraling a bit trying to figure out the why and what I should do next. Perhaps these are one of the things i have to keep an eye on but generally accept that I won't get to the bottom of. [/quote]

I think the first time you have to just go with "toddlers are weird" and "sometimes they try things, decide they didn't like them and don't do them again" and another dose of "toddlers are weird".

Repeatedly biting yourself could be a sign that he's stressed or overwhelmed.  But kids will try a lot of things once.  [/quote]

Yeah, I wouldn’t go straight to freaking out after one incident.  Toddlers are weird and many go through biting stages either on themselves or others.  Thankfully it’s generally short lived.  You may see it pop up at home or you may not but either way hopefully it’ll pass quickly.[/quote]
