Hi,
 > I've been reading LACTNET for a while now and find it a
 > wealth of information. I now have a question you may be able
 > to help with.
 > I'm a postpartum RN and new IBCLC but I don't know as much
 > about older nursling issues.
 > I know a mom (permission to post) who has stopped putting her
 > 7 month old to breast due to his constant biting. She is
 > pumping diligently (4-6 times per day) but of course her
 > supply is diminishing.
 > He will go to breast for his a.m. feed without biting, but
 > otherwise refuses to nurse and will only bite. Her pedi
 > office told her he should have intake of 24 oz/day at this
 > age. He is already eating solids (multiple ozs) per day and
 > weighs about 19 lbs. and is voiding, stooling and appears
 > happy and healthy, but she is not pumping near 24 oz. She
 > does not want to introduce formula at this point. She is also
 > taking fenugreek.
 > Are there any tips or suggestions out there for getting
 > babies who have been biting at breast this long to relatch?
 > Is it just a matter of time and patience on mom's part or are
 > there any other tricks she can try? I'd appreciate any
 > thoughts you all might have.
 > Thanks!
 > Jen Riley, RN, IBCLC
