Here is what I practiced and told mom's during my time as a La Leche League Leader. When they bite, pull them in tight that their nose is covered and they can't breathe through the nose. They will release right away - kids are smart, they like to breathe LOL
If they get a reaction, like a scream or something, often, they think it is funny - or they get scared. I usually would also say something like biting hurts...
If they bite again right after - off the boob for a bit to understand that it is not okay. They usually understand pretty quickly that biting is for teething toys, not mommies :)
That's good advice. My mom tells how biting basically ended breastfeeding with my brother--he bit her and thought it was sooo funny when she said "ouch!" so she didn't continue. And my aunt tells how my cousin went on a breastfeeding strike after he got so scared by her cry of pain when he bit her--he wouldn't nurse for several days and she had to work hard to restore that relationship.

A little hard to chew, though, so he just broke through a tooth to help out!
