My baby actually bites for many reasons. over stimulated, excited, frusterated, etc. and sometimes he bites and yankes, which makes cuts in the lower nipple from his two teeth. Usually when it takes me a bit to get to him to feed him, (like driving in the car). He thinks I'm funny when I'm stern. I tried to flip his cheek, but that was too much for his feelings. Right now I try to squeeze his cheeks together to seperate his jaw, which opens it fine, but too late for my poor nipple. I may try nipple sheilds for inverted nipples, but haven't gotten them yet. he doesn't like bottles, although I do have success with that sometimes.(pumped milk) If anyone has any more advice that would be awesome! I really want to breastfeed till he's at least a year old. I'd also like advice as to what to do after I have scabs on my nipple, it hurts like crazy to feed him with it, so I've been pumping and trying to get him to take it from his bottle, but he hates it.
Thanks for your time
