don't give up on him/her! They usually calm down with lot's of handling and TLC. If yours is a biter like Nanci's, I would suggest putting a glove on or a bandaid and just let him/her bite to their hearts content. I did that with Baby when he was small and I'm sure it helped. He pretty much quit when he realized it wasn't doing anything but giving him a tooth-ache. LOL
If you act like he/she doesn't scare you then you've won. Don't be afraid to show who's boss but do it with gentleness and kindness. I baby talk mine ALL the time. My family thinks I'm whacked....which I probably am when it comes to these guys! Aren't they great! Enjoy your new addition. J
