Ouch...what to do about biting?

[PollyA]

So, I think baby number 2 is so much easier. You kind of know what you're doing and you know to enjoy all the little stages as they pass so quickly. I have been in baby love gaga land for the most part....until...I got two badly bitten nipples tonight, after a week of sleep deprivation and hard day with a cranky tired toddler.

My DS- 4months, seems to be sprouting the dreaded teeth and he bit me really hard on one side. I quickly pulled away and bit my tongue to stop the profanities threatening to escape my lips and he screamed the place down. We cuddled and shushed and he was obviously still hungry as we'd hardley started the feed. I couldn;t put him back on the first side as the pain was still bringing tears to my eyes so I put him on the second side. 2 minutes later- Bite and pull. Ouch, ouch ouch!

I remember when DD was older having a few biting issues and putting her on the ground, saying no etc. But he is only 4 months. None of that would work and hes a 2 hourly feeder, day and night. How can I stop him from chomping, its not going to be good for him or me if my nipples are too sore and bruised to feed properly.

At the moment he is next to me gooing, gaaing and looking absolutely-butter-wouldn't-melt-in-his-mouth-angellic. He is too cute.... I wouldn't believe the pain he could cause if I hadn't experienced it first hand. I know my reaction scares him too...he screams and cries, all I do is jump and stop the feed, no noise, but he knows.

Any ideas much appreciated.
