biting policies - 22-06-08 15:20

Hi I am new to the forum and I am needing help. I am a senior nursery nurse and have a problem in our baby room as we have babies aged 7mths - 20mths in one room. At the moment we have 3 children aged 1yr - 1yr 3mths that are biting, we are reviewing our policy, but are finding this hard on how to deal with the situation. They are only babies after all and I know we need to be teaching them right from wrong but how have other people dealt with this? The children have bitten a number of times and we are very lucky that the parents have been understanding. We have tried everything from shadowing the children to having a member of staff stick with the children, but it happens really quickly and is not working as we are a busy room and cant have a membe of staff to sit with one child each.
any help/advise would be very grateful
