Ok, so Sara is 14 months old and still bf-ing lots. Problem is she has
teeth (4 top and 3 bottom teeth) and she bites while she nurses.
She doesn't chomp down, it's just that there are now teeth where there
weren't any, so I don't know what to do about it. I don't want to wean
just yet, she's drinking from a sippy cup with a soft spout* sometimes
but doesn't drink much and also prefers to play with it to drinking from
it so she's not getting lots of fluid from the cup...
Any suggestions would be awesome, I really like nursing her but it's
getting to the point where I tense up just thinking about nursing and my
left boob (she mainly nurses on that side)) is kind of tender/sore,
which is no fun at all.

*she does bite the spout to drink rather than sucking on it, so it might
also be a learned thing, but I'm not sure. |

I've had trouble with mine biting while nursing after getting used to
biting a sippy cup spout. Would you be able to help her drink from a
small juice glass for a while instead of a spout and see if that helps?

At this point I'm ready to stand on my head and wiggle my toes if that
helps 
When she drinks from a glass most of the drink spills out, but since
she's covered in goo by the time she's done eating (she insists on
feeding herself and turns her head away when I try to feed her...
Really, I don't know where she got that from, I know I still have all my
stubborn!) some more liquid won't make much of a difference
thanks
