Hi, hoping for a bit of advice.
My 5mo baby was tongue tied and had it snipped at 3 days old. Still has a significant lip tie but now feeds well and is growing like a weed.
He has always been a bit bitey - towards the end of a feed he will often clamp down with his boney little gums and pull away. Agony. I push his face into my boob til he lets go and I terminate the feed. This worked well with DC1, but he hasn't got the message, and was still doing it from time to time. But now he is teething and unless I catch him when he is really sleepy he is doing it loads, and it's just awful! He is chomping on everything in sight - his hands, my hands, teething toys - this is all fine but my poor, poor nipples! He has done it at every feed today and I don't know how to stop him.
He is the world's sweetest baby in every other way, and I think part of the trouble is that he thinks it's hilarious when I shriek with pain - he always comes out with an angelic smile. I love him so much, but this HAS to stop. Please help!!
