My 15wo has started biting and chewing at my nipples, been going on for about 10 days now and getting worse!
Still milk available when he does it and its not when I'm letting down quickly (he clamps down in a different, less painful way if the milks coming too fast) its more of a 'fussing' thing iykwim.

Anyone else have this so early on? Was it a passing phase? Obviously not a lot I can do as he won't understand me telling him not to bite yet!

Lucky I don't have particularly sensitive nipples, but they still get sore and a bit bruised by the end of the day!
 
When you feel him biting, try pulling him gently into your breast. The idea is to slightly smother him so that he lets go in order to breathe. Sounds terrible I know, but I'm only talking about a second or two!! I'd also say no as you do it, so that he starts to associate the word with the biting. He may be young but trust me they understand a lot more than we think even at that age! :flower:
