With the appropriate latch, your DD should not be biting you...except, I
find that around times when my DS is cutting a tooth, he'll be more prone to bite when starting or ending a nursing session; it's always temporary, though. DS has 10 teeth now, and I have survived a nip here and there. It has all been worth it to me. Annie Zach 6.19.02 "Mogget" wrote in message ... This must keep coming up here, but DD has cut her first tooth, and OW! I am very sore. I am also very saddened to think this might be the end of our nursing relationship. I would really like to be able to keep nursing her. Can anybody please give me any advice? TIA. -- Mogget |

Ok - so, basically, if I'm sore, then the problem isn't the teeth, it's the latch? I was watching what she did this morning. I could *not* get her on right. While she was nursing, I could actually see her tongue. Next feed I did much better at getting her on, but I'm still very sore. Ooooh she has a bad habit though. When she's done, she doesn't just open her mouth and release the nipple, oh no, she twists her head away while grabbing the breast with her paw and pushing, to give the nipple the maximum amount of TWAAANG. Ouch. And then she decides she'll lunge back on for another suck, clamps on, twists and twangs. For as long as I'll let her. Ouch. DS has 10 teeth now, and I have survived a nip here and there. It has all been worth it to me. That's very encouraging. -- Mogget |

I'm onto him though, and get ready to latch him off when he's finishing up. DH said, "Oooh, look. He's figured out how to strip the hindmilk." -- Caryn mama to Oscar, 10/20/02 |

As I said, teething does not have to signal the end of a nursing relationship, and it is quite easy to avoid getting bitten if you know what to do. To understand why you are getting bitten, we need to know when in the nursing session it is happening. Some additional informaiton, like the age of your baby would also be helpful. : -- : Mogget Post again, hope we can help. I bet we can. Larry |

When mine bit me, I screamed, dropped her on the bed, and "landed" in another room, downstairs. Waited a few minutes to go back to her, too. She only bit me twice. I reacted the same way both times. She never did it again. She was about 6 months old at the time. I also waited to nurse her until my boob stopped hurting. She nursed until she was six *years* old. Jenrose |

I find that parents who insist on being treated gently (by simply refusing to continue nursing during that session once a child has gotten rough) tend to end up nursing much longer than parents who let bad behavior continue to the point of excessive pain. The instant she starts "playing", just say, "All done!" and *you* unlatch her the old fashioned way (finger in corner of mouth, break suction before pulling away.) Jenrose |
