Breastfeeding

4 mo is rough with me when nursing

LO is 4 months old, and starting to cut some teeth.  The past few days he has been really, really rough while nursing.  His favorite move is to latch on, then kick himself off by pushing his feet against the arm of the recliner. The result is him pulling on my nipple really hard, and I'm actually starting to get blisters!  I try patting him or jiggling him, and sometimes this will settle him down.  Did anyone else go through this?

  • What Amy said. I'd def use a different chair for a little while - teeth scraped nipples hurt!
