ouch!!! those top teeth really hurt!!

[handzfull]

My ds is 10 months old. Biting is not the problem, but he has three top teeth and whenever he lets go, he doesn't always unlatch first; he just pulls off and ends up scraping my nipple. Man, it really hurts. It happens because he's distracted and wants to see what's going on around him. I try to hold his head so he can't do it, but he doesn't like that and he quits nursing. I can't avoid all the distractions and interruptions unless I lock my door and put a do not lock sign on it. Then the rest of the children will be completely unsupervised for 30 min. or so everytime I nurse. I'm soooo tired of it. Do you all have any tips about how I can help him not do this??

oops - I mean a "do not knock" sign on the door

I'm going to move this out to the general Breastfeeding forum since it's a fairly common issue.

bumping your thread. I just did a search and found this - I'm having the same problem. She very rarely actually bites me but almost every time the above scenario happens a few times. Help!
