Hi there,
I breastfeed my son and just lately he has started biting and pulling off the breast and it really hurts! He also gets top ups with formula a few times a day and has started to get a little fussy with the bottle. Not sure what is going on at the moment? Any suggestions anyone?? ------------- Sebastien 2 years old Olivier 3 3/4 years old |

Hannah's started doing that in the last week or so.
Luckily, she has no teeth, but her gums are damn hard! Nothing I seem to do stops her from doing it. DH thinks it's her way of telling me she's had enough, so I let her play (*eta: with her toys, not with me  ) for 10 minutes and try again. If she's still biting, then I just assume she's no longer hungry.
Sorry - I'm not much help. Just wanted to let you know the same thing's happening here and I'll watch this thread for advice, too. -------------

DD has been doing this to me as well and I wondered if she was becoming quicker at feeding, so has had enough? I also try her again a bit later on to see if she wants more  -------------  Mum to Hayley **30.6.08

It could be his way of slowing down your let down maybe?? I had something similar a couple of weeks ago and MW said it was that... You could try changing your feeding position? ------------- Anita Mum to Cian (Aug 08), Josh (Jun 10) http://lilypie.com">
