My four month old has two teeth that have popped through recently and now she is biting at almost every feeding. How do I make it stop?! It happens the most at the start or end of feedings.

With Xander, I would YELP whenever he bit me and say "No biting!" I also had to get really good at recognizing his cues. He most often would bite me at the end of a feeding when he was done eating and ready to come off. I got good at recognizing when he was done and popping him off before he could bite me.
Good luck to you. Being bit while nursing hurts so bad!

@Adira: Thanks, I think I need to be better about watching, she is so distracted these days that I pretty much need to stare at her the whole time since a piece of dust floating by will get her attention and then she chomps down. I have been yelping (just because it hurts!) but I almost wonder if she is too young to get it?

@Cole: I'm not sure - Xander didn't get teeth until 7 months, so he was older. Plus 4 months is the beginning of the very distracted phase, so that probably makes it harder. I'm sorry!
