So my son has been feeding off only one side for about 2 years, it's pretty well used to copping it from him but I noticed recently that it's been quite painful, only actually had a look at the nipple properly today though. Anyway, there's a perfect semi circle of actual scabs (ew) where his top teeth have obviously been resting while he's been having his lazy morning feed (the only one he has now). We feed lying down, wouldn't know how to change it. If I just got up he'd cope, no tears even, but I don't particularly want to give up my lie-in so I'm happy to keep feeding. But how can I fix his latch so it doesn't hurt/injure me? I've tried telling him to open his mouth wider etc and frankly I may as well ask him to fly for all the effect it has.
Ooh and... Yes I know he's old enough to wean, but I'm only after responses that are supportive of full-term/extended bfing thanks.
