DS bit my nipple hard last night when I was nursing, and again this morning. I pulled him off and said "no" sternly but he just frantically lunged back at me. Poor baby is hurting from teething I think and is gnawing on everything...but man it hurt! I'm going to try Mrs. Pen's cheek flicking when it happens again...
Does your LO bite you? How are you able to dissuade it and how old was your LO when negative reinforcement worked? (DS is 4.5 months).

Funny, she just bit me because I was too busy reading this thread instead of noticing that she was done. She usually bites when she's teething or when she's finished and I'm not paying attention. I say No and I press my boob into her nose so that she lets go gently to take a breath. She always laughs after I do that, the little vampire.

She just bit me this morning. I yelped the first time. The second time, I smooshed her face into my boob. Afterwards, she just giggled. :-\
