Biting Problems

LO has discovered that she can bite and man does it hurt!

We have a little vampire on our hands, and I have to joke, because her name is Alaina, and although spelt differently, she has the same name as Elena from the show "the vampire diaries."

Back on track! Back on track! Focus!

Does anyone else have this problem? I try giving her a stern no, and tell her it hurts, and say ouch with a sad face. My method is not working. 

The minute I tell her "no" she laughs hysterically and goes in for another bite. She thinks the word "no" is hysterical. She has made it a game. 

I don't want her to become a kid that bites other kids. 

Advice?

    We have a biter too. I usually say no very firmly and direct his attention to something else. I was reading an article on it and it said do not yell and make a big deal or try to show them that biting hurts. Simply redirect them to a better activity.

    Same problem here. If I say no and sit him on the floor he laughs. And if I say ow he laughs harder. Idk what else go do either.

    DS has been doing this or awhile. He's still not past it, but I do manage to get him upset by saying ow, putting him down and walking away. He doesn't like to be ignored, so this is the absolute worst for him.

    Also, when he bites while nursing, I will pull him off, put him down and walk away.

    He still bites, but if I catch him as he's starting to, usually a stern "no" will stop him.

    I never said "no" to her, but I did react normally and that worked.
    Someone on the BFB suggested to scream and I did the first time and she cried and I felt bad, but she was really tired. I calmed her down and nursed her to sleep.
    The next time I didn't scream, but I yelped as it came naturally. She also cried that time but not as hard. I calmed her and used a soothing voice as we relatched and continued BF. She might have done it one more time and that was it. That was before thanksgiving and at least three teeth ago. No biting while nursing since, though she has bitten my thigh and shoulder.

    Pushing her face into my breast to unlatch only made her bite harder. Ending the nursing session only worked until the next tooth started coming in and then she'd be biting again.

    DD is quite the biter as well. Sadly, it was a large reason of why I'm no longer BF-ing her. I made it all the way to nine months, and then she turned vamp on me. No amount of stern correcting or unlatch ing caused her to stop. Even now, she's getting her 5th and 6th tooth (all have come in pairs so far) and all she seems to want to do is sink her teeth into whatever exposed part she can. I try and be firm about it, but I have a hard time not breaking up when she giggles like a maniac.
