My 6 m/o DD has always been a chomper on the nipple, but she just got her first two bottom teeth in and her biting is a serious problem for me now. What can I do to let her know that biting my nipple is not ok?

This book feels good in your hands. The paper is heavyweight, and the illustrations flow perfectly.
DD Biting Hard!

As soon as she bites, smoosh her face into your boob. She will let go. Then put her down on the floor a minute or so. After doing that a couple times, she will get the point, don't bite the boob that feeds you.
Do whatever it takes to not yelp, scream, say ouch, etc. Clench your teeth, squeeze your let, whatever ya gotta do to get through the pain. Some babies like to bit to get the reaction, they think its funny.
Others, like several mama's on here, have gone through recently, go on strike if mom yelps/yells out.

Yep, what she said. It never worked for me-dd would just go right back to it and this went on for 3 months before I gave up and weaned her-but for MOST babies it does. My dd is just wierd and always has been, even now she will ask the same question 50 times in a row and have no clue she just asked, lol. So she probably just forgot she'd lose the boob.
