    Watch her closely and be ready for teh 'tell' - there's usually a sign that they're about to do it. When you figure it out, you can take her straight off before she clamps. They have to actually unlatch to clamp down.
    You can tell her biting means no milk, or some such, and put her down. At this age it is often a sign that they're done, anyway.

    T, my DS did that too and with the cheekiest grin! I use to just say No firmly and if he did it a second time I would put him down either obthe bed or couch depending where we were feeding.

    Since his teeth have come in we have had a few instances of biting (I'd say more nibbling lol it's not super painful.. No where near as bed as I thought!) and I just do the same thing and gets the idea straight away now.

    Like Jen - its if I'm watching tv or not paying attention and he is finished and I try and feed him again he does it. U can tell when he is finished cuz he tries to sit up... So I just need to watch for that and we don't get bitten!

    Just remember to ease them off with ur pinky or watever cuz pulling off will def hurt more... Hard to do I know! My first reaction was always argh get off! And pull back lol
