She's 16 months old and sometimes when we're playing, out of the blue she grabs my hand and BITES ME... :( ... I believe she thinks she's playing, I tell her "No" firmly, but I don't know if this is enough and I'd hate for her to start bitting other kids too...

depends on how far you will go! I would tell my son "ouch that hurts mommy" "biting hurts you don't want to hurt mommy bite is a no no" I hate when people use no to much. I like to tell them reason I say no first. As a second choice I use time out. BITING BACK IS WRONG! Never bite back that is just going down to there level. We are the parent is sending mixed singles to bite back. Think about, you tell them no for biting then you turn around and bite back. Come on that's a no brainier!

Taking her by the shoulders and a firm NO should be enough. It might take a few times, as with everything. Make sure you are very forceful and short with your voice. Don't scream, but make sure you raise your voice in a low, loud tone. Your gonna have to 'scare' her into not biting again.
Also, take care not to 'playbite' her, blow farts on her, or tickle her with your mouth. That teaches her that it's fun, she doesn't know her own strength with biting, and can bite others thinking that it's playing, just like you said.
If that fails, and only if it fails in the long term (over the next few months), bite her back. Not hard or in anger, just enough to make her feel it. She isn't making the connection right now between biting and hurting, and you might just have to show her.

She will grow out of this. My son did this. She's just excited. They get carried away. This won't necessarily lead to her biting other kids. Don't worry.

I know this sounds bad but you must when my daughter was about the same age she did the same thing one day she bit me on my shoulder and drew blood with out thinking I bit her on the arm hard (Idid not bring blood) but she cried for a while and then I sat down with her and talked to her about biting you must get her to look in your eyes and explain that it hurts to bite

My sons have both done this when they were teething...I just kept up with the firm no, and it ended eventually. Good luck!

Bite her back enough for her to feel what it's like. I did it to my daughter and she looked at me like that hurts. Tadaa. She didn't do it anymore. Rather she knew not to do it hard when we played.
