Isaac bit me. And that really hurt Isaac. And it's still hurting.
(anyone ever seen the Charlie bit me clip on youtube? If not, you must watch.)
Isaac has some wickedly sharp little teeth. Just two. Bottom front. Did I mention sharp? Anyway, he's had these teeth since early November and has successfully avoided biting me when I nurse him.
UNTIL...
One morning I pick him up to nurse him and CHOMP! That shit hurts! I loudly exclaimed "OOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!" I handed him over to Dave and decided to make him wait awhile to nurse again.
I pick him up and he does it AGAIN! same scenario. Then AGAIN! same scenario. I was starting to think that if this continued he may just have a really, really short ween and be a bottle baby. However, I tried about an hour later and he did not bite again. That was almost a week ago and no more incidents since then. Crossing my fingers.
I'm hoping to nurse Isaac until he's around 12-14 months. Let's hope his teeth cooperate.
He looks so sweet and innocent here (but don't be fooled, he's a biter!)

He does look so cute and innocent in his picture. I cannot and will not believe he would ever bite his mama. Ha! I am sorry he bit you, I can only imagine!
After the initial run in I had with biting while nursing, they never tried it again. I've nursed both of mine to 18 months and it was smooth going ever since the first biting incident, even while going through major teething and getting molars (I'd been warned that's when they'd try it again). Hopefully he's learned his lesson and it won't interfere again! :-) I feel for you though, that's a pain nobody can prepare you for!
Haha! That post made me laugh. :) If only you could make a You Tube video of that, but that would definitely not be appropriate. :)
After Eliza bit me the first few times, I always felt a little anxiety every time I nursed her because I wasn't sure if she would bite again or not. Luckily she did not. Hopefully Isaac stops.
Ella didn't have any teeth at all until 9 mos when she got the front 4 all at once. She only bit me a couple of times, but that was enough. I think every nursing mother gets ready to throw in the towel when the sweet baby starts biting! Most babies do stop, thank goodness (at least the ones I've known).
