My Biting Boy

I guess I should have ordered Max a vampire costume for Halloween instead of a sweet little lion outfit because somebody has decided he's a biter. Max has bit me several times while nursing the last two days. Thank goodness he doesn't have teeth yet. I don't even know if its called biting when they don't have teeth yet but he is clamping down and pulling back like he is trying to take something with him. I know I probably just made every woman reading this grab and guard their own breasts in fear but don't worry he's only after me. Whenever he does it I just say OUCH! STOP! loudly, but now he thinks its funny and giggles when I yell out in pain. My little vicious vampire is going to have to shape up or say bye bye to these boobs. Mr. Medela (my breast pump) never bites me so I have no trouble using it all of the time. Any suggestions please leave a comment. My sore girls can't take much more. Sorry if this is more information than you needed to know but I am used to working with nurses and we don't keep much private or use our filters very well.

My suggestions would be to stop saying the "ouch! That hurts". Especially since you know he thinks it's funny. He'll just do it for that reaction. And if he keeps doing it, I'd just take him off the breast and give him a bottle. I'm sure he'll quickly learn that if he bites, he gets no more boobs!

Love the little fangs, by the way!
