DD has bitten me once and yep, it hurts! I don't think it was deliberate and she hasn't done it again, so I am happy to continue BFing for the time being, but I'm not sure how long I will continue if she starts biting more often! It even hurts feeling the top teeth scraping against the boob, sometimes a lot, but she loves her boobie milk so much I can't bring myself to stop yet!

I have only just cut DD's night feed - I have decided enough is enough, so now I just leave her cry a lot longer than I used to at night and she is learning to put herself back to sleep. She still has 4 feeds during the day and I am also thinking of starting to cut them back. I am not really sure how to do it yet either. I think I will start replacing the mid morning feed with cows milk after she turns one, and then if that goes ok, I will start replacing the afternoon feed with cows milk too. I am happy to keep feeding her morning and night for the time being, although it would be nice to have my body back!

esme - i am also thinking of going to a playgroup that goes from 10-12, right at the same time as her morning sleep, but she still seems to like a morning and afternoon sleep. I think I will leave it a little longer and then try just one day sleep. I suppose it will also make things easier at day care when I want to go back to work.

Hi to everyone else, I hope you are all having a great long weekend!
