I BF my 10mo DS twice a day, morning & evening, he has a couple of bottles of formula during the day while I'm at work - this has been his pattern for the last couple of months.
DS now has two front upper teeth and I'm finding that he's 'resting' them on my nipple which gets painful after a while. I try to disengage him and relatch but doing this more than a couple of times gets him (understandably) upset and really interrupts what should be a peaceful, happy time. In addition, he's always had 'busy hands', but recently has started sort pushing my breast away at the same time as sucking and pulling back - the thing it reminds of most is when you see kittens 'kneading' their mothers when they suckle. The combination of the teeth and this kneading/pulling action really isn't comfortable.
Does anyone have any ideas to persuade him not to, or why he might be doing it? It's bad enough to make me think about stopping
