Hi Mamas,
She went through this before but it only lasted a week and really wasn't too bad.

She has started biting me all the time, especially when nursing. It's getting incredibly frustrating for me. I get angry (it hurts!) and then try to put space between us for a few minutes. She usually cries and climbs on me and I hug and tell her I love her.

I can't stand this biting. It's really painful (I'm sure you all know) and she's also bitten me elsewhere when she hasn't been pleased with things such as going into her carseat. My DH saw her do this and was surprised that she did it, too!

She's already "rough" with her cousin and other people and I'm worried this biting is going to spread. So far I'm the only "lucky" one to receive the bites.

Any advice, stories, help would be very helpful. Thank you, Mamas! I do NOT want to wean over this but this problem is inhibiting my let down as I'm afraid of when she'll bite.
