Brielle just got two teeth at the same time and while she handled the pain very well I believe she was trying to let know she was still not happy about it.
She started biting me and it was like needles in a place where needles don't ever need to be. She was doing it so bad that screaming and telling her no wasn't enough. She would actually laugh at me when I freaked out.
So, I had to flick her cheek and make her cry. I felt so bad and instantly felt some regret. She then protested the boob for the rest of the day therefore nursing only twice that day. She usually nurses four to five times a day.
I got so stressed and started feeling a disconnect from her that I didn't like. She went to bed for the night without a feeding but couldn't really go to sleep until 11 pm that night when she finally gave in leaving both her and I exhausted but relaxed. It was instant relief for me when she finally nursed because as a mom my job is to feed my babies and make sure they are healthy. I don't want to fail them.
I was amazed at the connection that nursing brings to a mother and her child and how emotional it was for me that she didn't want me.
Well, it has been a week now and all is well. No more biting and we are back to being the best of buds. I love my little Brielle. She is quite possibly the sweetest baby to ever exist.
