First tooth this week, and now she bites during feeds

Our daughter's first tooth came through on Monday, at 7 months, and she has discovered what it can do. Twice yesterday she clamped down mid-feed and then looked up at me, very pleased with herself 😅 I'm feeding her through the day and want to keep going for now. Did this phase pass quickly for you? Anything that helped, short of just putting up with it?

my partner had this with our daughter. what worked for her was taking her off straight away every time, calmly, no big reaction, and ending that feed. about a week and it stopped. the reaction was the fun part for the baby, same as with everything else at that age haha
