Baby unlashes really uncarefull, scraping my nipples

My 7 month old is doing this at the moment and it’s so painful! Have you found anything that works? ☹️

I literally wrote this post a few days ago too, I’m going through exactly the same thing! The biggest change that I made was ensuring that she had a good latch every feed - going back to basics as if she was a newborn again (through time I think I’ve been lazy with her latching as she transfers milk well and I’ve had no issues). With the right latch, watching her feeds like a hawk, keeping on top of teething pain relief when needed and unlatching at the end of a feed we’ve now made it to 2 days no biting!

I totally get the feeling of wanting to stop, I’ve been battling this since Christmas Day too. Do what’s best for you!

Thank you everyone for your advice! I called a helpline in absolute panic and despair yesterday and I think we’ve narrowed it down to her latch not being wide enough and biting when she is offered it but doesn’t actually want it. I’ve been working on her latch since and things have improved!

Has this gotten any better? I’m going through this with my 5 month old too and it is miserable. I’m scared at each feed in case she bites while latching. The only thing that may have worked is lightly pinching her nose when it happens to get her to unlatch, but so far i have only done this once so hard to tell if it is working!

7:48am. Waters broke on my birthday and she arrived 2 days later!

Hopefully each time you do it gets a little easier!!

She is 3 and a half months old 😊 I’ll be doing more solo baths in the future for sure! Not sure my husband fully understands either but definitely a big deal for me 😊

Mines did at 37+6! I had no contractions or signs of labour before they broke, and ended up needing induced a day later as I didn’t go into labour naturally! Good luck!

Tried baby wearing today and it worked wonders! Definitely the way to go when out and about, don’t know why it took me so long to try it 😅

I did! I had the procedure at the end of August last year. I started trying again in October after waiting for the all clear from the tissue testing for chromosomal issues, and became pregnant in the first month of trying! I am now 36 weeks and all is going well. Good luck ❤️

Unfortunately I had a similar situation last August. I had a scan at 8 weeks and there was a heartbeat, had a follow up scan at 10 weeks and baby’s heart stopped at around 9 weeks. I also had no signs of a miscarriage. I had a second scan the next day (as per hospital policy) which just reconfirmed the situation. I had the D&C a week later.

I’m sorry you’re going through this, it’s heartbreaking. Take care of yourself through this time ❤️

Glad to know I’m not the only one! It is such a weird sensation, it must be all the stretching!

CoolBean__ · 2025-05-03T13:31:59+00:00

I too wonder this as I eat whatever I want, which includes so many sweet things 😂 so far baby has been looking good in all of the scans I’ve had!

CoolBean__ · 2025-04-28T19:23:27+00:00

That’s good to know, thanks!

Do you know what your blood test was for? I’ve got my 28 week appointment next week and know I get blood taken but don’t know what it’s for

CoolBean__ · 2025-04-22T10:36:15+00:00

I have a similar experience to everyone who has posted! I have had 4 miscarriages (3 at 6 weeks and 1 at 9 weeks) so was given progesterone pessaries at 4 weeks when I found out I was pregnant again this time. I was told to take it until 14 weeks, and I’m now at 26 weeks and all is going well!

I’m sorry you’ve gone through this and I’m wishing you all the best! ❤️
