It's exhausting trying to stay gentle and calm and soft and open
I don't think you're supposed to stay gentle and calm and soft and open when your kid bites you. Kid is now about 1 yr old, right?
Kid is now at the age to be learning that when they bite someone, that someone cries "OUCH!" and moves away from them or moves to protect their from them in a closing-off way – at least momentarily.
