Obviously Oakley is a biter too.    He just loooves to bite my nips and shoulder. He hasn't bitten a friend at school yet but he did bite a teacher on the shoulder one day. I have wondered if it is BFing related - that he might see biting as a form of closeness or something? But I guess that doesn't explain the non-BF biters...so who knows...?

Very good point!  She has tried to bite me while nursing a few times and I sternly told her no and she hasn't really done it since.  But now that you mention it she has tried to bite my shoulder a couple of times before when my skin was exposed and she was tired/hungry.  Hmmm and you know what, apparently she bit this kid RIGHT before I showed up at 11 to nurse her!  And the dc ladies were holding her and saying that she was on the verge of sleeping so she was obviously tired.  Ruffs you could be right!  Hopefully this isn't something she is going to do everytime she gets tired and hungry though   And what scares me even more is that I am having to move her to a new daycare in a week that isn't close to work so we were going to wean her off that feeding and just give her whole milk at lunch.  Helll that may really send her on a biting rampage!!

Yeah I think it is a tired/hungry thing with Oakley too. He only bites my nips while nursing when he's really overtired and fighting sleep. I'm sure she'll adjust fine to the whole milk - at least with that, when she's hungry they don't have to wait for you to show up right?

I'm interested to know what the note home says - I mean, she's just a baby, it's not like you can explain to her what she did was wrong LOL!
