Dear Boobs,
I have put you through a lot this past year, what with pregnancy, lactation, thrush infections and really ugly nursing bras. Throughout it all, you have been bastions of comfort and joy to the new little being I have recently introduced to the world. You have fed him, nourished him, and nursed him to sleep without complaint, even when you were positively drooping with fatigue.
And then today, what thanks are you given for your bosomly martyrdom? Why, said infant decides to try out his recently-sprouted fangs on your tender flesh. Yes, that's right. Not once, but twice today, you have been bitten for your pains.
The rotten child has been put in his crib to think about what he has done and I will try to salve your wounds with a large bowl of ice cream or perhaps, chocolate? Meanwhile, we both look to the future of breastfeeding with trepidation. It might be time to dust off the old nipple shield.
Again, dear boobs, my deepest apologies.
I remain your devoted servant,
Sarahkka.
:cry:
 
:rofl: Your poor boobs. Hope the teeth marks fade quickly lol
 
Those boobs need some TLC.....he's got some makin' up to do!!!

:hugs: for (.Y.)s :winkwink:
 
hahaha cute letter. Sorry he bit you though, I know it really hurts :(
 
Thank you for the sympathy, girls.
He's done it twice more today.
Brutal!
He's teething for sure - he was chewing on the nipple of his bottle yesterday.
Hopefully some teething gel will help calm this down. Not fun at all.
 
No fun at all. When is he biting?

It seems to be when he's fussy and not sure if he wants to nurse or not, then decides not and chomps down instead.
I have my nipple shield out and I will keep it close at hand.
I'm also trying to nurse only when I can tell he is definitely hungry. That's what was recommended on several other nursing sites, so I'll give it a try.
 
Brenn was a biter, and I found different things worked depending on when he was biting me. Either at the start or the end of a feed. It is very frustrating, but it does pass.
