Help! New tooth and biting

DS got his first tooth this week. My initial enthusiasm has worn off now he's decided to test its sharpness by gnawing on my nipples!! Any tips for stopping this becoming his new game long term??

My HV advised me to calmly remove nipple from the baby's mouth and say very firmly no.
I have found that jumping out of the chair and screaming WTF works equally as well. Grin
Sorry no tips as such, my DC3 still occasionally bites me/gnaws on me but it is getting less and I just keep shouting WTF saying no firmly.

Ha ha! Thanks Norwegian! I'm probably somewhere between those two reactions - used the WTF when he did something else (can't remember what!) and he burst into tears - I felt terrible!!
