Biting nipples

In the last week my 8 month old has got her first 2 teeth... last night she's started biting me real bad whilst I'm nursing her, is there any way I can prevent this my nipples are so sore I could cry!

My boy (just turnt 1) has been doing this, he's got 4 teeth 2 top 2 bottom so it's absolutely agonising. I've just been taking him off, telling him no, no biting mummy and giving it 5 minutes before carrying on the feed. Its normally ends in him having a bit of meltdown as he really doesn't like being told no but it seems to be working and he's doing it a lot less now, a few weeks ago he was literally doing it every feed.

My baby learned that I didn’t like it because I would tell him it hurt and offer him my finger or a cold teething toy 😊 Sometimes I would offer the cold toy before breastfeeding to ease the urge and 9M after and 8 teeth, he takes the boob out to bite his or my fingers and laugh or tries to bite my thighs or face 😅
