Pinching and biting habit while feeding

My 5 months old daughter has recently developed a habit of pinching me while I am feeding her. She will either pinch my stomach or breast. Sometimes she even bites. I try removing her hand then she starts crying.
Is it something common with this age babies?
ha ha ha
Really funny. I wonder what the baby might be thinking. Or it that she is enjoying doing so. My kids never did anything like this.

i have not seen this.
i may be wrong but i think the baby cannot learn this on her own. either you or someone at your home let her do this for a while and now she has started liking more than you want
so i am with the baby
My son had got a similar habit about a month back. But for me it was very difficult to accept it and from the very beginning I did not let him pinch. If he started pinching I immediately stopped feeding him. I am sure he understood that if he pinched he will not get food and he stopped pinching.

Very true babies do something once or twice and if you allow them to continue with it then it becomes a habit and you struggle to stop that.
When my son was 6 months old he got into the habit of pinching on my tummy and I could get rid of it only after 2 months or so. What worked for me is that I wrapped a rubber material kind of thing around my tummy whenever I fed him. May be it sounds funny but that helped me
