As she's feeding she has started turning her head towards the floor whilst still sucking so that she drags the nipple down with it. Ouch. And then relatches immediatly anddoes it again - repeated many times. Any ideas why and more importantly how to stop her? She is 16 weeks

Oh yesvthe clamping and pulling defo ouch!

Dd used to do this I read you should stop the feed and put them down, tells them if they do that it interupts the feed.

My lo does this also, she is 14 weeks, I have taken to bf her in a cover, bit like a horse with blinkers on, it's working a little bit but she will still clamp down.

Will be interesting to see what others say.
