Biting

in Breastfeeding

My DD got her two front teeth a few weeks ago and she has occasionally bit down a bit, but it has been really bad today. She usually bites and/or scrapes her teeth against me while she is pulling herself off the breast, but it isn't always at the end of a feeding (sometimes she just takes a breather).

This afternoon, it has been 30 seconds to a minute into the feeding when she bites. I always tell her "No biting" and I've taken her away from the breast for a few minutes before trying her again, but she continues to do it today, even when she's been fussy and seems hungry.

I am so frustrated and scared to even try putting her to breast again because it really hurts and she even drew blood. I just pumped so hopefully my DH can give her a bottle and spare my nipples for a feeding or two, but does anyone have any other tips?
