Ouch, Miles, Ouch!
So, my no-teeth, partially BF baby has started to bite me! I pump 3x a day to keep a teeny-tiny supply (ie: 7oz combined) up so that I can nurse in the evenings after work and on weekend mornings. I love it so much, I just can't give it up. Well, the last few days, every time I go to nurse, he sucks furiously for a minute or two, then starts to bite down... HARD! I know he's probably about to start teething, but it hurts! It always makes me jump, and tonight, when I shrieked "ouch! no!" he jumped, too, then his little lip started to quiver and he started to cry. Darn it!
Are my nursing days over?
Re: Ouch, Miles bit me
This ^^ is what I've heard.
BFP #2 5/27/12. EDD 2/1/13. m/c and D&C 6/21/12.
Sorry he bit you!! My two toothed baby bites me every once in a while and it suuuuucks. The trick is to keep an eye on them. The second he stops sucking, pull him off. They bite when they're done or bored.
Also, C's pedi said that even at this age, babies understand tone of voice. If you say, "no" in a serious voice when he bites, he'll eventually get that its bad.

G bit me like 10 times over the weekend. It SUUUCKED! I'm sorry Miles bit you, too. They have some interesting info about how to deal with this on kellymom. Basically they suggest what the pp's said. Remove baby and firmly and seriously say "No. Don't hurt mommy" or something like that. Kellymom doesn't suggest yelling because it can startle baby and put them off nursing (that said, I've yelled once or twice because sometimes you just can't help it!).
