Ok.. this is a new one... LO is 6 months old next monday and started biting my nipple during feedings last night.  This last feeding he bit me 4 times!  No teeth yet, but it still hurts!  Is it too early to start telling them no! ???  Is this just a phase??

TIA

    No it's not to early. I would tell him "ouch, that hurts mommy. We do not bit." In a stern voice. They figure out very fast that when they bit down there milk stops.

    I'm not there yet.. so I can't speak for myself if this will work.. but I've asked my mom about this and her solution was... Take them off your boobs. Let him/her cry for a bit (not long!) and then put him/her back on.  They'll soon associate the biting with their milk being taken away.  Like I said.. not sure if this actually works! But apparently it worked with me/my brother when we were nursing.
