My dog had puppies two weeks ago and today she started biting people. This is not her first set of puppies. She was her normal playful self this morning. At lunchtime we went out to check her food and she bit my daughter. We do not mess with the puppies. Then when I went again later on to check her food she bit me. She still jumps up like she wants to be petted like usual, but then she bit me and as I was moving away she was still trying to bite me.

Your mama dog (and you) are the victim of raging hormones. I am guessing that this is just her being extra protective. She will get over it. Keep the stress and commotion around her to a minimum. If it continues after the puppies are weaned, you need to see your Vet.
Unless your dog is a pedigreed, papered animal and you are a licensed breeder, please have your dog spayed after this litter. There is no need to add to the overpopulation of pets in this country. Besides, even the kindest, sweetest animal can cause damage when protecting their offspring.
They weren't asking for a lecture. They needed advice. This comment doesn't help at all.
