Well the title pretty much says it all. The baby has two lower teeth coming in, and every time he latches on he bites down, hard. I now have identical bitemarks, complete with broken skin and bleeding on both breasts. I've tried telling him no biting and then putting him down to walk away for a few minutes. It doesn't really seem to be working, he just screams and cries while I tend to my wounded breasts. I've always nursed him on demand too, so he's used to nursing pretty frequently (which means I've been bitten about 6 times so far today, the last two times were the worst though and that was when he actually managed to break the skin.)
I'm so frustrated, I nursed my twins exclusively until they were 13 months old, and this only became an issue with them when they were around the 1yo mark, so old enough for them to get the no biting and walking away routine.
Help, I don't want to wean him, well not in the big picture anyway. But right now the idea of letting him near my boobs is freaking me out, I don't want to keep getting bitten!
