My baby seems to be biting anything he gets his hands on. Initially he plays with his toys and then slowly starts putting them into his mouth. Even when I carry him, he tries to bite me.

This may be part of the teething process. Tell him "No biting" in a stern voice and walk away from him. This way he will slowly understand biting to be a negative act and he will slowly stop biting. When he bites his toys, you can tell him the same thing and keep the toys away for some time. Sometimes, biting can also be due to a sense of insecurity. Take some time off between your chores to spend time with your son.
