If your DD has her fingers in her mouth all day it sounds like maybe she is teething. Especially if she only has 2 teeth she is bound to get some soon - my DD has 6 teeth already! She started getting them really early though (4 months). HTH!

yep yep ditto ditto. And maybe try some hylands or tylenol or babyoragel and see if that calms her biting down.
With Daniel, he was a BITER... he would sometimes look at me.. and slowly start clamping down OW! I would say OW, press him into my breast until he let go then put him down on the floor. He would cry (combination of OW and the fact that I put him down) and I would offer the breast again. Repeat until he got it.
Teething sucks. CHloe is nursing all night long right now... JOY!
