trish - that is so sad about the biting. i'm scared of that too, especially now that top #1 has come through.

the babylove woman says they are just testing them out - which i imagine is fairly irresistible really. she says end the feed right away and don't put them back on for a few hours.

tracey hogg says: "say, ouch, don't bite mummy, that hurts"

GP says, "it often only takes one bite and breastfeeding is over"

my sis says... try as hard as you can not to scream because you can trigger a feeding strike. she says it's part of it (4 babies and multiple years later). she persisted through spaghetti nipples (ouch).

can't say i would be game to venture back into the jaws of death - and i would totally understand if you did wean now. sad but sometimes necessary.
