Jennifer,

He goes to the breast for his AM feeding but not others...so is the AM
feeding in a different room or different in some other way?  Sometimes
babies who are biting will nurse without biting when they are sleepy.
It may help to be sure the baby has other things to bite, teething toys,
etc.  Then anytime he does bite mom to take it away and give him a
teething toy.  
Some babies also seem to bite to get mom's attention. If they are alone
with her and she isn't paying attention to anything else (as with the AM
feeding) they are ok. But if mom is nursing and watching TV or talking
to another child so her attention is not on the baby, he will bite to
get her full attention.
