DD was the only one who ever bit me and she only did it once.  She cut her 
first tooth when she was 9 mo and when she bit while nursing she found 
herself promptly plopped on the floor with a resounding NO!  She never bit 
me again.   She also didn't really care for curry in breast milk either but 
I ate it anyway (my cousin wasn't so lucky, her son refused the breast if 
she ate onions or garlic).  At first she whimpered but she got used to it 
and it never seemed to affect her in any way.  I had cut down on curries by 
the time her brothers were born and nursed.  Although they ate them 
occasionally as they were growing up, today they hate curries and she can't 
get enough.
