OUCH-

I have  had no trouble or pain with BF since the start, but now at 3 months 2 weeks my LO is really hurting me.

 

She seems to be tugging at my nipple more, and almost like punching my boob while she eats, she pushes at it a lot and it honestly is no longer fun to feed her! she is eating the same time she has always eaten, and she still has dirty and wet diapers and is gaining weight so I don't know if it's my milk supply lessening, or what is going on! Has anyone had these troubles? or have any tips on how to help?

    What PP said.  Another possibility is that your DD is getting impatient with the slow flow of milk, hence pulling to see if she can get another letdown.  DS was like that too and he eventually chilled out after a couple of weeks.

    You are probably right! I bet it is the growth spurt, because she is currently going through her leap so that's probably what it is... will my body adjust accordingly providing more milk? Or is there something I should do?

    ....my LO started doing that about a month ago and hasn't stopped. It's like once she learns something she's obsessed with it. I didn't knot it had to do with letdown. She will push of of me really hard and now she grabs and SQUEEZES my boobs so hard! If
