Nikki was a biter too! What finally worked for me was to be very clear that she HURT me.
I would pick her up and as soon as she started to bite I would scream OUCH!!
And immediately put her down for a time out. When I played with her - as soon as
she would bite, I would scream in pain and yell OUCH!! and immediately
stop playing. After awhile she finally realized that biting would get her NOTHING.
I remember being VERY frustrated. I always kept a chew toy handy too. I would
say NO and then shove a toy in her mouth.
