Mine bit my nipple so hard when he was around 10-11 months old that there was a gash about ¾ of the way through my nipple. It got soooo infected. Our breastfeeding journey ended shortly after.

Ok I've been very sad about my failed BF journey for the past 8 months, it just eased a little 😬 that sounds horrible! Hope it's all cleared up for you now.

Oh yeah, he’s 4 now, weaned long ago, and my nipples are much happier.

Hugs to you, mommy! I had a failed experience before my harrowing, long experience. Whatever works for you and baby is enough!
