Help with baby biting while nursing

For those that have babies with teeth - how do you get them to stop biting while nursing?? My baby has her two bottom teeth, and a couple of days ago she bit me while nursing. I hoped it was just a fluke, but she did it again during today's morning feeding and during lunch when I nursed her at daycare.

I don't have any suggestions as we haven't got to that stage yet but found this on kellymom

Hi. Just slowly take her off so it does not kill her and tell her NO! My son did that 2-3 times and he knew it was not right and he was just testing me. Hopefully she will not do it again. Good luck!

When my LO would bite I would pop him off and say "no biting" and end the nursing session. Close up shop for a few minutes. It only took me a time or two and he didn't do it anymore. He liked nursing too much and it hurt his feelings to have to stop!

Of course if he was still hungry I would let him nurse again after a few minutes - but long enough to make a point.
