Biting!

Kelsey • ICU Nurse 👩‍⚕️ Baby Girl: Miss Maggie “Mermaid” 🧜🏻‍♀️🧜🏻‍♀️ 11/24/19

Help!!!!!! 9 month old has had 2 teeth for well over a month and she just discovered she can bite my nipple. I am not ready to give up breastfeeding yet! I’m literally crying from her biting me. I tried yelling when she bit me and that scared her so bad now she’s afraid to latch! 😭😭 I also put my boob away when she bit. I don’t want her to be afraid to nurse but it was more of a knee-jerk reaction when I yelled. I didn’t mean to startle her that bad. Someone else told me that she may be trying to tell me she’s ready to be done nursing. I KNOW moms have made it through this period before, I’m not giving up yet!!!!
