BF moms with biters... advice please!

TofuMama7

I BF my DS and it has gone very well until recently. He got his bottom two middle teeth and now will sometimes chomp down while nursing; which is terribly painful! He's never drawn blood but I'll often have teeth marks on my gals. Any advice on what to do? I want to BF him until he's a year old, and would prefer to still have whole nipples by that time...

So true!

I must admit I am a little bit worried about nursing Madeline when she gets teeth though.

Haha, I have found the shriek and then put down method keeps him from doing it too often. He usually cries after I shriek, but the first time it was just a reaction, but it worked!
