Caroline has been biting while nursing since she got teeth. I always take her off, tell her "no" then let her get back on. But this morning she bit so hard, my poor nipple was dripping blood. I cleaned it up, let some milk dry on the spot (I've read that it has healing properties), then put some lanolin on it. Is there anything else I should be doing?

Re: Nipple dripping blood - not a good morning
Yikes! Nate bit me occasionally, but never like that! I hope that phase passes really fast for you!
Here's the kellymom link to biting... maybe there'll be some helpful info here: https://www.kellymom.com/bf/older-baby/biting.html

Of course, Kellymom - why can't I ever remember that site. I have it bookmarked and everything! Thanks!
