Infant feeding

DD has just started biting. She doesn't have any teeth but it still hurts!

But just now she had such a mischievous grin on her face I had to turn away so she wouldn't see me laugh! Ouch though!

Anyway, she is 6.5 months, only gumming but this isn't a precedent I want to set! Also she keeps pushing the boob away while my nipple is still in her mouth. How can i nip this in the bud?

Hi. My dd's would sometimes clamp down unexpectedly it they fell asleep feeding. My technique was to get my little finger in between nipple and the little one's mouth in order to extract myself! Also, sometimes used to take this as a signal that they had had enough!

She's definitely doing it deliberately!

before the teeth come just change your tone of voice to a stern 'no'when she does it she will soon stop.
at six and a half months putting her across the room will not register with her that this is punishment for biting!
NO baby likes a stern voice.
hope you don t stop the cuddle they are only so cuddly for a few years. good luck.
still feeding at six months superb !!!!!!!!

Cheeky little monkey

If she does it, DONT LAUGH!!!! LOL.

ANd remove the latch as per mommalove. I'd not bother putting her the other side of the room. Just down next to you.
