Hi. My 17wk old is ebf, and it was all going okay until the past couple of days. I don't know if it's anything to do with her having a bit of a cold, but she is biting down (although she has no teeth yet) when feeding. I am now dreading feeds, as it is so painful. Any ideas on how I can get things back to normal?!

Yep had it with my two and with teeth Confused
Just gently pull them towards you and they will release grip.

Ie pull little face in towards breast.

Thanks for the tip throwinshapes. It seems to help a bit, although she is still doing it :-(

You're welcome ??
I think it works (slightly worryingly) by cutting off air supply temporarily.
