my boobs hurt!

heyitsme

My 1yr old is killing my boobs! the other day she bit me, then the next morning she was crawling on me and kneed me really hard in the breast & it feels bruised now. and every time she breastfeeds she pulls her head back and also pushes sometimes with her hands stretching my nipple. I barely want to feed her anymore
I want to keep bfing but the pain is so bad

Mijita

You need to correct her as she does the offenses. If she bites, firmly say no and absolutely no boob for 10 minutes. Let her cry, she needs to learn that the boobs are her source of food not a toy our playtime. Be consistent! When she tugs on boob draw her head in and hold it there, she'll find it uncomfortable and will eventually stop.

Good luck!

I know I try to pull her close but she fights so much and makes it worse. sometimes it feels like she's scraping her teeth against it too while nursing cuz I get this random pain with every movement of her head. its almost like she's improperly latched? hmmm idk but I hope it gets better soon @mijita

I had the same problem.. it was a phase for Malia, although she still latches roughly sometimes. (14 months)

Is there any possibility you could be pregnant? If so you should test. But so it could be the fact she's teething that get her to do that..

@Mylove2 I actually tested this morning and it was negative
