DS is about a year old. I very much want to continue nursing (as does DS, it seems). But he bites. Not multiple times a day, but usually about once. Since he now has 8 teeth, it really hurts.
I've been able to recognize when he usually does it, and therefore minimize it, but it still happens. I've tried smooshing his face in my breast (which makes him clamp down OWWWW), saying "no no" firmly, saying "that hurts Mama!," and even tapping him on the face (I can't yet bring myself to thump him, my little boy!). Nothing has seemed to faze him.
The biting is threatening our nursing happiness, especially since DH seems less inclined to let it continue when I sometimes cry out of frustration (and pain).
Any thoughts? I'm not at my wit's end, but I'm getting there.
Re: Biting
My guy does this, too. I usually set him down at my feet. Have you read the kellymom info on this? I found it very helpful...
