Jack has a tooth! Not sure how nursing will be now...

He has been crabby with teething but still nurses ok.  But it has definitely felt very pinchy when he eats.  How do you 'train' a baby with teeth not to bite you??

I was always really worried about this, but DD has 6 teeth and has never bitten me.  I've heard that if they do bite, you should firmly say "no biting!" and remove the babe from the breast for a few minutes.  If you laugh, or otherwise react, the baby might do it again just to get the interesting reaction from mommy. Good luck!

We are up to 3 teeth now....I've only had the occasional 'nibble'.  The best thing I've ever found between 2 kids is to say "no biting" firmly and end the feeding.

This is my answer - except kiddo only has two teeth!

I usually yelp and then say firmly no biting. If she does it more than twice in a row, she gets a little cool off time with no feeding. Unfortunately she usually does this when she's tired and so the yelping and then unlatching her makes her cry so a paci is usually in order to help calm her. It's happened maybe two or three times since we began teething, 3.5 months ago. And we have 7 teeth and #8 is coming through soon.

DD has 4 teeth and 2 more coming in.  I think in the past 7mo she has only bitten me 3 times, and it was as she was falling asleep and coming off the nipple.  I tell her 'No'.  She does understand.  It will be ok.  GL.

a firm "NO" worked for my oldest...the twins don't yet have teeth.
