Biting

in Breastfeeding

My baby has just started biting me when he nurses sometimes.  He usually only does it in the evenings after I pick him up from daycare.  If he's sleepy, he doesn't do it.

Anyway, he has the 2 front bottom teeth, so it really hurts when he does it.  I tell him "No!", give him a serious look and take him off the breast when he does it, but he just laughs at me.  Any tips on how to get him to understand that biting isn't okay?

    My DS only bites when he's done eating.  He also thinks my reaction to being bitten is funny, so I try to watch for his other signs of getting full (like squirming) and not react when he chomps down.

    The Baby Book (Sears) recommends you pull the baby into your breast when biting, that way s/he cannot breath and will have to open their mouth...essentially learning that if s/he bites, no food

    My DS doesn't have any teeth yet, so I haven't used this myself yet
