Today, my son got his first tooth, and is enthusiastically biting everything. I breastfeed. FML

Pump your milk and feed it to him through a bottle. The next time that little bastard is going to see ******* is if he buys dinner first, or dials up some Internet ****.

If he bites you; firmly say no and withhold the breast. It won't take long :) good luck!

Your welcome... It's just sad no one thinks how much health benefits from breast feeding is for the baby and the mom. My comment never was refer that a woman has to do it, it was to defend mothers such as I who take it to heart to give the best to her child.

Yes the mom get benefits out of it... Lowers the risk if breast cancer and help lose pregnancy weight you gain. I lost about 40lbs after the first month I had my baby. No, not after 6 months. The longer you breast feed the more you lower risk of breast cancer. Also the baby will have a better immune system because of the antibodies form in the breast milk from the mothers body to pass to the baby help fight sickness. Now babies can get sick, but it's unlikely to be bad and will go faster.

Not to be rude or anything, but every doctor or lactation consultant I've ever talked to said there's no benefit to breastfeeding after a year old, to momma or baby.

#191 not to be rude or anything but you obviously don't have kids because my son got his first tooth at 5 months and my nephew at 3 months.

If baby bite push his/her head into the breast, it is their instinct to open their mouth. Do NOT pull away, sore bloody nipples is what you'll get. Say No too, tho they do not know 'no' they learn quickly

Reading comments like these is terrible. I wonder how many of you are mothers who breastfeed/know anything about breastfeeding. Most of you seem sadly misinformed. I pity your children/future children.

More than likely none and few I encounter they have no knowledge...

Whenever he bites down let out a bloodcurdling scream. It conditions him not to bite down and you can continue to breastfeed. I got this advice from a mother of four and I've since had three sons of my own. Trust me, it works.

I laughed really hard at this. It does work. First time my son bit me, it was a surprise and hurt like hell so I screamed out. He jumped and just stared at me. It actually took me a few minutes to get him to latch on again.

The withholding method doesn't work. My eldest bit my nipple till it bled. Don't physically punish the baby, just let out a loud, scary scream and the baby learns not to bite down when breastfeeding.

Yowch. I'm not a mum so I have no advice for you, but I AM a woman and... ow. Hope you figure out a solution!
