My 10 mo recently bit my nipple in two places.  When she nurses, especially at night, her teeth continue to rub the spots she bit, which are small open sores at this point.  I have been avoiding nursing on that side, but was becoming too full so i attempted to block her teeth by placing a bandaid over the sores.  It still really really hurts and im not sure what to do about it.  It is impossible to nurse her on that side at night because of the pain of her teeth lightly rubbing the sore spots especially when i experience the let down.  Its causing us both a lot of frustration.  Id like to avoid nursing on that side, but for obvious reasons I can not.  Its been like this for a week and any advice would be appreciated.  - Maybe I just have to tough it out and wait for my body to heal as best it can?
