I'm breast feeding my 5 month old avid he's just starting biting my nipple during feeds... if I can call it biting as he has no teeth! He clamps down on my nipple with his gums really hard and wrenches my nipple out and around! It bloody hurts so much and it's hard to get him off!

He does it at no particular time during a feed, just whenever. What's going on? This is the longest I've managed to feed a baby... had to give up at 4 months with my other two children, and I don't want to have to stop yet.

Any suggestions? Of reasons why he's doing this? I don't think he's teething... well showing no obvious signs anyway? My other children didn't cut their first teeth until nearly 11 months.

Thanks! ]]> Feeding your baby elmo12 http://forum.birth.com.au/feeding-your-baby/109407-baby-biting-breast-but-no-teeth.html
