Re: Help, I'm thinking of quitting
Just a little update, things are so much better. I took Monday off from nursing on the left side and just doctored my wound all day long. Well it seems to have paid off since it's closed back up and healing nicely. I'm nursing her again on the left since Tuesday morning. I nurse her side lying with her upside down so that her teeth are on the opposite side of my nipple. It is still uncomfortable to nurse on that side but not excruciatingly painful like when the sore was still open. She has not tried to bite me since. I nurse only when she's hungry, in the bedroom in the dark no tv and I watch her like a hawk. Then after she finishes I praise her. I'm so glad I didn't give up, just at the time it hurt so bad and looked like something we wouldn't recover from. Thanks for all the encouragement ladies. Also, for those who have not yet been bitten, please be wary when the teeth start coming in and don't let yourself get chewed on like I did. I believe that's why things got so bad, that first bite was allowed to go on b/c I didnt realize what was happening.
