I just hurt my baby's feelings.

Baby Bun has biting - not hard, but enough that we have been trying to redirect her. We usually tell her no biting and then sit her down.It's usually a slow bite with her teeth dragging (you need this imagery).

She bit me while  nursing a little bit ago. I pulled back and told her no biting, that hurts Mommy, and made a face. She stuck her lower lip out and it quivered. She has NEVER done that. It about broke my heart, but my nipple was hurting and I will not tolerate biting. I let her try nursing again, and she did it again. I said the same thing and she stuck her lip out again and almost cried. I gave her a hug, put my boob away and sat her down.

I feel horrible that I hurt her feelings, but there will be no biting.

    It's so pathetic, but I can't help but laugh at it. I'm such a stellar mom, no?

    Dude, the pouty lip quiver was the first thing TLF figured out. It kills me. I'm kind of jealous that you made it so long without seeing it!

    Baby Bun is more about the side-eye than the pouty lip. She does not hesitate to give me the eye if she doesn't like what I am doing. The lip totally caught me off guard. Usually when she gets redirected for biting she looks at DH or I like "wtf do you think your doing redirecting me?"

    While we haven't experienced the pouty lip here yet we have had biting.  

    Now she will give a little nip and look up at me like she's saying, "What? I'm not doing anything Mom."  

    It's almost like she thinks it's a game.  Very frustrating (and painful) for Mommy!
