No personal experience, but from what I understand you are supposed to latch them off and tell them 'No!' very firmly before latching them back on again. It may take a few goes, but apparently they understand even at that age.
Have to admit, I am dreading the arrival of Peter's teeth for exactly this reason!
Hope you find a solution soon.

ouch! i've also heard that pushing their face into the breast makes them let go cos they cant breathe (sounds cruel, but just meant to get them to let go) and then put them down on your lap and dont look at them. then put them back on, keep repeating everytime they bite. good luck, i remember this with dd1 and it was horrible. i gave up fairly soon at 6 months as she kept doing it and i couldnt bear it!
