"if he is hurting her, instead of responding or reacting in an angry way,
cry out in a way that indicates she is in pain and he is hurting
her--without an angry tone (even though she deserves to feel angry)"

I would be cautious with this route.  Whatever we give the most attention
to, we get more of.   For some babies, anything that gets a strong reaction,
angry or not, will be tested out again and again.   With my refluxy bitey
baby, I found it best to nurse her vertically, in a mayawrap or similar
sling with my finger *right there* so that I could insert my finger into her
mouth if she clenched down on the breast.

I didn't see any improvement in the behavior until I was totally calm and
expressed little to no audible reaction if she bit down.  I would look at
her calmly and slowly shake my head 'no' while inserting my finger into her
mouth to protect and extract the breast/nipple tissue.

It did eventually stop but while it continued...phew....it was very
difficult.
