Biting toddler

Sorry I am sure that there have been other threads, but cant find them right now.
Dd 15 months has recently started biting me, so far only me, but dreading the row from her nursery and the grovelling to another parent. What's the view on biting back, as this seems to be everyone's advice so far, although lots of these folks have children much older than dd.Not sure if I could do it though.Any advise?

Don't bite back - then you are having a "conversation" with her. like saying hello back to someone who says hello to you.

At 15 months she simply hasn't got the reasoning to go "oh, that hurt, so when I do it to mum it must hurt mum."

I'm not even a fan of giving it a reaction at all. Just walk away.

ouch did it again, some times she looks as though she knows exactly what she is doing before delving in with her pearly whites. I put her down and walked away which she did'nt like, maybe it will work.
