Biting when new teeth appear

hjs2013

So my DD has her 2 bottom teeth, and when they first appeared it seemed like we went through a biting spell when nursing.  Now she is working on her top ones, I can actually feel/see the bud right under the gum so I know it's close.  With that said, she just started biting or more nibbling this go around.  Did any one else notice when their LO's teeth were popping through, biting increased?

I breastfeed and have noticed this too! DD has 7 teeth now, and she has done this every time. So far, she hasn't bitten down too hard, but it still hurts!

What have you done to get her to stop biting or did it just pass as quickly as it came?

This exactly. It passed as soon as the new teeth popped out.

Yup. Def increase with the teeth coming in. I would unlatch her then give her the chance to re latch. If she bit me again we were done. Had a couple of curing moments but it works. Even now when I go to feed her if she doesn't latch on right away we are done because she ends up just biting me so I figure she is just playing around and not hungry after all.

Every tooth Ariel gets causes at least a few days of biting. So far she has seven teeth and is cutting number eight.

When she bites I lightly plug her nose. This makes her immediately unlatch and pull away. I then calmly, but sternly, tell her "no biting" followed by "you must be gentle when you nurse". It only takes a time or two now before she gets the idea.
