I know there are quite a few long term nursers here so I need some advice - my baby (turns 1 next week) is biting/clamping/yanking/pulling on my boob. I have tried the "mommy ouch!" for the bites but it is the yanking/pulling that is horrible. They are black/blue now and it hurts worse than as a newborn!
I'm seriously considering throwing in the towel even though he is so young, and I don't want to make night bottles. What do I do? My other kid was bottle-fed and I remember him chewing all teh bottle nipples to shreds around this age, I'm terriffied!!

To young to understand anything other than that atm. Sounds mean, but it works.

Ahhh it was so long ago now but I remember those days clearly.
My daughter bit me i think twice. The first time I jumped about a foot in the air. The second time I screamed and pinched her ear, nothing that would make her cry but she never did it again. The pulling though, I really don't have any advice on that. I stopped nursing at about a year, that was one of the reasons.
I was worried I'd have to possibly start bottles at night cuz that was the only time she was nursing at that point. I think it was more of a security/habit thing because she stopped waking up in the middle of the night after I totally weaned her.
I hope someone else has better advice for you

Make sure he has a proper latch. If he doesn't then he wont nurse properly and it will hurt...Nursing even with a newborn should not hurt. With a proper latch he can't bite. I nursed my son until he was 2.5y. His first teeth came in at only 3 months. He bit me badly once and I think my yelp in agony was enough to scare him. I found if he wasn't really hungry he was more likely to yank and pull so I would say enough is enough and stop nursing for a bit.
It's never too late to become the fit, healthy person you were meant to be!
