Default biting

My Little Bug is now 8 months old, and has been happily breast feeding
since she was born.

In the last couple of days, she has started biting instead of feeding.

Does any one have any suggestions on how to stop her doing this? I
really don't want to stop feeding her myself.

I can remember very well an absolutely horrific 48 hours when DD was
that age, she had sharp teeth and bit with every feed. I got some
good advice here, especially from Larry, but I don't remember all the
details. (Sorry) The main helpful points were
1) yelling "ouch" and ending the feed after a bite.
2) making sure they were all the way latched on so they couldn't pull
off to bite
3) It was generally a short lived phase and would be over in a few
days.

Good luck!
