Anyone else have really sore nipples when nursing now? DS hasn't changed his latch that I've noticed, isn't biting and doesn't have any teeth but nursing has been painful the past few weeks. Just curious if anyone else has had this. Thanks!

If he's teething, it may be uncomfortable for him to nurse so he might have changed his latch a bit. I was sore shortly before DS's first two teeth cut. We're good now though

He seems a little rougher now, but he's got 6 teeth, so I think that's it. Like pp said, if teeth are coming in, that could change his latch.

Most times when DS has bit me, it's when he's teething. Last week, he cut his two eye teeth and bit me so many times I thought I was going to have to wean him. But since they came through, he hasn't bitten me again.
