It's been going perfectly till this last week when her top 2 teeth came an and now, oh the pain both nipples are red and have tooth shaped dents and a purple bruise like mark at the tips straight after feeding. Clara isnt biting me, more like teeth scraping... I've been told to take it back to basics with the latch which is helping a little during the day but at night she generally just pulls my top down and latches on herself which sends me through the roof (I now have to wear a bra in bed for my own protection.) and the more I unlatch her to try correct (both day and night) the more frantic she gets and tried to grab my boob which results in a worse and worse latch. I would say I'm really close to quitting but I honestly have no idea how I'd stop her and besides I don't want to stop since I've already got this far! Will this stop soon? Would nipple shields help?
Someone save my nips!!
