Larry has some good ideas and I am sure he'll jump in. But what worked for
me was to stick my finger in the side of the mouth (where there's no teeth!)
to break her grip and say no (even if she doesn't understand, she will get
the message). Others say to just stop the nursing session and put baby
down, but I could never bear to do that cos she would cry so hard.

Good luck!

My daughter is 5 1\2 months old and has had her 2 bottom teeth for a few
weeks now. All has been fine before now with only the occassional bite.
But she got sick on Saturday and had a fever and was very grumpy. Now,
while being sick (for 3 days), she has bit me several times and pretty
hard. My left nipple is so sore! It hurts the whole time she's nursing
on
it. I've been using Lansinoh on it today. I need to know how to keep
her
from biting so hard. She's only 5 months old and doesn't really
understand
the word no. I must say that I will not push her face to my breast to
make
her let go though. Any more ideas? And is there a way to help this raw
spot to heal quicker? Do you think it would hurt my supply on that side
to
let her nurse the other side most of the time and the left side only
occassionally. Hopefully, it will heal soon but I need to know how to
keep
her from biting so hard. I think she is teething again. My other 2
children bit me when they were nursing but never this hard. Thanks!
