Be sure all the attention goes to the person she bites, and none to her. Say, "Oh, are you okay?" and rush over to whomever she's bitten, turning your back to her.
Tell her very calmly, "We don't bite, biting hurts" and stop engaging with her. When she wants to be picked up or played with you say, "I can't pick you up because you bite." "I'm not going to play with you, because you might bite."
Toddlers like to test reactions, and even bad ones are intriguing. They're smart - if something no longer gives them a reaction, they give it up.

Keep a spray bottle of pure lemon juice in the fridge (and stick it in your purse or the diaper bag if you think you might need it, when you are going out). Squirt her in the mouth when she bites. It will only take a couple times before she stops doing THAT.

well when she bites you should tell her no and give her a firm look and point at her... she's not to young to be scolded.. she needs to know that it's not nice.. give her something to bite on instead also such as a teething ring... or a stuffed animal... a towel or something...

Personally, I agree with biting back. She does not know that it hurts someone else unless you show her how it feels. You need to teach her sometines by showing. Words aren't enough. Good luck

Well, when I was little and bit someone they would bite me back and ask "how do you like that". Ofcourse it and i stopped biting.

My darling girl did that too and I was so embarrassed! One time she bit me and my reaction startled her, I bit her right back! Not enough to break the skin obviously but it scared her and she never did it again. Good luck!
