Please help my poor nipples!
My son is 4 weeks old and over the past few days he’s developed a habit of suddenly clamping down on my nipple while feeding and throwing his head back. Strangely almost always on the right. My poor nipple is so bruised and sore!
He’s had a good latch since week two and the painful crack on the left nipple from the initial latching difficulties had just healed up and I was finally finding breastfeeding comfortable, but now he wants to play tug of war with my boob!
It tends to be towards the end of the feed and if he does it more than once or starts chewing on the nipple (😖) I unlatch him, but the damage is done!
Anyone know how I can stop this?? Before he starts teething?!
