Hi
My lo is 5 and a half months and sometimes nibbles towards the end of a feed. Also, sometimes she makes his smacking noise I think it's when the suction is released.
My nipples are now slightly sore, I've put some Lansinoh on but what should I do with lo, I'm worried about putting her off breast if I repeatedly take her off as I have just had a battle to wean her off bottle onto me. Don't want her to reject the boob! But hen she needs to learn!
She hasn't got teeth yet but obviously I don't want her to get into the habit if her nibbling as it might progress to biting...ouch!
Should I end the feed when she nibbles or is that too risky? Up till now it's been drummed into me by health visitors and midwives that she should fall off on her own.
Hanks for any advice,
