my LO biting my nipples while nursing! My LO turned 1 yesterday. Yay! But then he started cutting his fourth tooth this week and he has bitten me in the past but not with all four teeth and tonight it hurt! I shrieked with pain and I think it scared him b/c I made him cry. My heart broke. I felt so bad making him cry, especially b/c it was bed time and I'm down to two nursings a day now.

I started weaning him off breast milk three weeks ago and it's been kind of hard on me. I think he'll be my last baby so I'm treasuring the nursing time more and more now. I get sad thinking about stopping but I know for my sanity I will need to. When he was first born I dreaded only being to go out for 1 hour at a time b/c he was eating every 2-3 hours. Today, I went out for 4 hours and came home and didn't have to nurse. The days of rushing home dropping everything as soon as I get home to unbutton/pull up or down my shirt are gone. I'm not looking at nursing tops constantly to find the most convenient one to wear anymore either. It's sad but I'm glad to sort of have my life back. I am going to miss nursing full-time and am going to miss the infant months. Nursing has brought a lot of great health and convenience (travelling) benefits for me with both of my boys. It'll be one experience I will hopefully never forget. Despite a rough start with my oldest, I'm thankful to have been able to successfully nurse both of my boys exclusively.

Did anyone feel this way when you were weaning? I didn't with my first but b/c I know he may be our last I am more emotional about it.
