The telling them off/screaming/angry face thing was what older people and HVs told me to do, but it was absolutely hopeless and felt all wrong anyway. Certainly not a good idea to cut down feeding either, just try to work together to get through it - remember the mantra 'this too will pass' and try to stay calm and continue enjoying b/f :)Letahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05772055777632977534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674968790685567436.post-92057704213356953922012-09-20T06:30:03.905+10:002012-09-20T06:30:03.905+10:00Ouchy ooo!

Analytical Armadillo did a post on this recently, she seemed to have some good ideas in there: http://www.analyticalarmadillo.co.uk/2012/08/when-breastfeeding-baby-bites.html Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04310478184445431967noreply@blogger.com
