Newly acquired female Boston Terrier biting our Daughter

We bought our female Boston Terrier on December 27th from a breeder. She had just given birth in November to 4 pups and is now 1.5 years old. She is biting our 5 year old daughter about every 5-6 days, no marks on my daughter, so may be nipping, but still showing aggression (we haven't caught her doing it, so can't be entirely sure). We are concerned as the family is very attached to her and finding her a new home would be traumatic for both my daughter and my 8 year old son. Any advice?

I had this problem with my oldest turns out it was an eye problem and when my youngest would jump around it would scare her I would say just incase take to see if there are any problems with the vet.

You say that your dog is being aggressive toward your daughter, but you never see this happening. How do you know the dog is being aggressive? You said that there are no marks on your daughter .If you never witness this, then I would set up a camera in the room with the two of them and find out what is going on. The dog may simply be trying to play and your daughter is taking it as aggression. I would want to know for sure before you get rid of what could be your very best friend.
