My son just got his first 2 teeth a few days ago and he has now been biting me while nursing. It's so painful. He does it at least 5 times during a feeding. What can I do to stop him?

Let me preface this by saying that I haven't BTDT (yet!) However I just recently read a thread on this topic over on Baby Bargains - Feeding Baby and the general consensus was, when baby bites, put the boob away - stop the feeding right there. Supposedly baby will learn very quickly not to bite.

Good luck!

My DS (9 1/2 months old now) has 4 teeth now & I've experienced the biting while nursing. ouch! At the first nip we stop nursing for at least 10 or 15 minutes. He's no dummy---he doesn't do it very often since I started putting the boob away everytime he bites.

Good luck!
