My DD has 8 teeth. I understand your pain! The 1st time she bit, I squealed and she thought that was funny. So of course she did it again. The next time I said, "no bite" and sat her down. I did this for probably about 1-2 weeks. One time she bit me so hard she broke skin. I had to pump on that side for a few days because it hurt too much to have her nurse. She hasn't bitten me since then.
Agreed with the "No biting!" and pulling off. @holly142, my DS is working on cutting his 7th and 8th teeth too! Never did I ever think my little (almost) 8 month old would have so many teeth this early!
Met & fell in love in '02 l Married in '10
Our first is in Heaven- we said goodbye in September 2012
Mine had 7 teeth when he first bit. Bit me twice on the same side, broke skin... It was terrible. However, it was a wakeup call to me that that side (right) wasn't producing nearly enough/as much as the left side. I got my supply back up on that side before I tried nursing again, ha. Hasn't happened since.

O wow , I would have NEVER thought that it means to little milk in that side. I know and how do I know that it hurts , but it's kind off cute

Every time she bites, unlatch and set her down for a minute or so.
But really, try everything you have to until it sticks. Those teeth hurt!
