I didn't do it so I don't know and I'm generally fascinated by this...I wanted to write "abuse" next but I do know that this is politically incorrect and would hate for people to stone me! *LOL*Carolyn (Diary of a Sewing Fanatic)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02204627216540667980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-13623792518389343332009-09-05T04:59:08.163+10:002009-09-05T04:59:08.163+10:00Another suggestion (that I just told someone else ...Another suggestion (that I just told someone else recently - maybe even you?) is to hug the baby closely to your chest so her nose and mouth are covered. She will automatically open her mouth to breathe and you make a quick boob escape with body parts intact. The less reaction from you the better. Of course it's hard not to scream when you are being chomped by teeth so new the sharp edges are like razors. But if you can get unlatched, put away the breast and just don't say anything about it. She will get the cause and effect thing pretty quickly and by not making a deal out of it, it doesn't become a power struggle. The next time she wants to nurse, do the same thing. Don't withhold the breast if she asks, but certainly take it away immediately if it's not being used in the way it's intended for. If you are consistent, it won't take too long before she understands the rules. The first few times it will seem like you are putting her on and taking her off every 2 minutes. But it's worth it to avoid needing stitches from a toddler attack. I think it also teaches a child a good life lesson - that they need to not do things to people that cause pain - especially biting the breast that feeds her. <br />BTW mine would rip handfuls of hair from my head, mangle my glasses, try to stick their feet in my mouth, try to stand on their head while latched etc. basically using me for a jungle gym. The joys of nursing a toddler - you really need to have a sense of humour. But if I picked up a magazine or a book to read they were having none of it. This was their playground not mine and darned if I was going to have any fun on *their* watch LOL!Grandma Connienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-18533498228508582552009-09-05T01:10:52.020+10:002009-09-05T01:10:52.020+10:00Might I mention that at this early age you can tel...Might I mention that at this early age you can tell her firmly "NO" when she bites down! She may think that your playing with her when she bites and you react! Does she smile at you after she has done it? Make her release and tell her "NO"... it's taking away what she wants and she will get the idea! It's amazing how smart they are! She will figure it out, and hopefully soon!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11744073613012413496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-83824860960891793882009-09-04T23:56:55.240+10:002009-09-04T23:56:55.240+10:00And they say nursing is a "bonding" thin...And they say nursing is a "bonding" thing! Well, it is but sometimes, OUCH! My oldest used to wrap his sweaty little fingers in my hair and PULL. That's when I cut my hair and stopped wearing earrings! Oh what we do for our babies. That hair pulling baby - he's now 21!!! Anna's adorable! <br /><br />Enjoy the curtain sewing and cleaning.Teresa aka MarieSewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10633130424915637147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-37088432125833606922009-09-04T23:11:15.187+10:002009-09-04T23:11:15.187+10:00I just believe how much she's grownI just believe how much she's grownTrudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11649677045881448393noreply@blogger.com
