im in agony,
its not really biting- she (91/2 months) decides to de-latch and literally clamps down on my nipple, pulls and drags the nipple along her two bottom teeth, it is toecurlingly painful, and my nipple is in shreds and bleeding on the underside. i cant bear to feed again on that side because it just cant take any more trauma. i cant pre empt this happening because one second she's sucking the next she pulls. tonight im not sure what to do- i tried expressing and hit the roof nearly with pain and ended up with an ounce of blood, i tried using a nipple shield but she was having none of it.
help please! if i dont feed from the left side will i lose supply/ get mastitis- she's still a frequent feeder.
