Letting bub suck on a cold face washer before you feed can numb the gums abit and reduce the propensity to bite. Rubbing her gums gently can help some bubs.
Have your finger ready to insert into her mouth if you can tell when she is going to bite, or if she only has some of the nipple in her mouth. Take her off and get better attachment.
Support her head/shoulders- sometimes bubs bite down because they feel like they are going to fall.
Doing a loud 'no' never really worked for me (i know it is often recommended), i prefer to try to engage with bub, eye contact and chatting, to try to identify triggers and then stop it before it happens. If it continued, then the feed stopped (for a few mins) and we did something else.
