Shanti I have had the same issues with my bubba with biting. a gf of mine who is an aba councellor gave me great support and we got thru.

My grand mother always said to me growing up ( she had 8 babies) That if you give them a quick flick with your finger when they do it they will stop cos they don't like it and it is instant consequence.

I really struggled to do that cos I didnt want to hurt my baby but one day she bite me so deliberately I reacted by instinct and flicked her cheek lightly and said no and took her off. She had been biting me and then looking at me with a cheeky little grin. It had become a game to get my reaction. I also realised that I was expecting her to be feeding alot longer than she needed to now and so I was trying to encourage her to feed longer than she needed to. At the end essentially she was just bored and when I looked really closely she would slip the nipple down from the back of her mouth and then bite it as it slipped thru her cheeks. I tarted to notice when this happened and stopped her by pre empting her response. I was probably that more than giving her the flick but I think it also helped me and her. Me because it helped my psyche... I felt like I was showing her a consequence that it wasn't a game and I didn't like it. And for her she learnt to watch my expression and understood I didn't like it. She isn't evil and I think she wanted to know that too. What I did wasn't cruel of really all that hurtful but it did shock her a little bit. christ she hits her head 5 times a day 10 times harder than what I flicked her but it wasnt what she expected from me so it made her think.

I hope that helps some what... if it helps, Barb said to me when I posted.." maybe grand ma has something there" or something to that effect and it made me feel better

PS she has stopped now but it is really scary and I still flinch a little when I see her start to play with my nipple
