I just read your update about Oliver having his top 2 teeth coming in. Has it affected nursing any? Do you feel them whilst he nurses or are they not through far enough to tell yet?

I can feel them. It's not that bad. I can feel them scrap a little. I just get worried he might bite! He thinks it's funny when he tries to bite me. So far it has not been too bad yet.

I feel your worry Resi lol!!!

omg as if they would bite!! that's mean!! i might bite back if my future kid tried that on me!! lol

I'm scared of the biting too But Kirsty simply will not take any type of bottle or sippy. So I'm stuck BFing. I don't mind it but I am tired and frustrated of trying to wean her. She is far too easily distracted & frustrates me when she nurses.

She has this habbit, she'll latch on then grip a handfull of breast skin either side of my breast... extend her arms towards me and pull her head backwards... I swear my nipple will be 10 yards longer by the time she does wean from BFing!! Nothing I do stops her.

maybe you can put little mittens on her? that sounds like it would hurt!

Violet used to do the same thing to me all the time, it was sooo frustrating. I never did figure out a way to get her to stop.

It's not so much the grabbing, but her stretching my booby, if I try to remove her hands, she will unlatch, then relatch and do it all over again.

could you not give her something to hold onto while she is nursing?

[~* Helen *~]

Didn't you have a nursing necklace ??

[ScottishBrit]

Cambria used to do that too. I thought I'd never wean her. She was sooooo distracted by everything!!

[Mars]

Yikes!! Not looking forward to this.

I've tried putting beads or a blanket in her hand. She much prefers mummy's booby

Fiona, Oliver has never done anything like that but he does other things. He will nurse on one side and pull on the other and go back and forth. He is also very distracted. I think that just goes with the age. Hang in there!
