  Re: Breastfeeding and teething Reply Contact Brennen has 2 teeth now too so I've had to kind of retrain my mind to think "it doesn't hurt!!" I find that if he actually bites that means he's playing around with it and not really eating so I put it away until he's ready to actually eat. I also make sure he knows he's hurt me by making a loud OW or something. One time it upset him too though so I felt bad, haha!

I broke her latch and made a noise and face to let her knnow that that was not acceptable. Sine then she has not bitten me. Keep at it, they will learn!
