Biting baby!

Him biting me I mean!

Has anyone got any tips to stop this? My 13 month old has started really hurting me when he feeds sometimes. It's not a wee nip, he clamps his teeth down then sort of pulls off so my nipple is scraped between his teeth. It's so sore!

I usually yelp when he does it at which point he looks at me shakes his head furiously and starts crying. I think he knows he shouldn't have done it but can't seem to help himself.

We had such a terrible terrible start to feeding (failed to thrive) and I have so much guilt and angst around it all so I really don't want to have to give up over this.

Sad
