Breast feeding + Biting = Ouch
My DD is 7 months old and has 2 fairly new teeth on the bottom. She just started biting me a little when I nurse.
Anyone have any advice as to how to handle it? I pulled her away quickly and told her no biting but she just looked at me like I had 10 heads!

No advice, but other people have told me to do exactly what you did. DS has 2 little teeth poking through. No biting yet, but I'm expecting it soon.

Yes just keep removing the breast be firm but gentle, she will get the idea that biting = no food and stop.

Re: Breast feeding + Biting = Ouch
Alex got her first teeth at 4 months, so I have experience with this one. The best way to handle it, is everytime baby bites, say NO firmly and disengage baby from the boob immediately. Do that enough times and baby will understand that biting = no milk.
