:( ouch dd's always 'nibbling' and biting down on my nipple - bloody hurts why has she started doing this?? :(

[CharlotteACavatica]

shes almost 11 months and thankfully has no teeth yet, but she suddenly stop feeding and starts 'nibbling' right on the end of my nipple, like shes chewing on gum OUCH - why

Don't know sorry Charlotte but when my DC1 started biting I called the NCT helpline. The information they gave me helped me stop the biting almost straightaway.

HTH.

Forgot to say, if she hasn't got any teeth is there a chance she's teething?

Also, there is some good information on Kellymom.

Thankyou JJJ, i keep forgetting about the kellymom site! Teething too, could well be that! never thought! Hope she stops soon, im getting a little bit fed-up with breastfeeding now to be honest, and the 'chewing' isnt helping! lol, thanks again

I'd give one of the helplines a call, like I said, they were very good when DC1 started biting.

It is easy to be fed up but hopefully, with a bit of support, it'll soon pass.
