Jen-
La Leche League's web site is an excellent source of information for
situations such as this. Anyone can access it, any time of the day and
night.
If you go to <http://www.lalecheleague.org/NB/NBbiting.html> you'll find a
number of ideas as well as several good articles.
If her supply is dwindling, she may need to use a hospital grade pump to
maintain her milk supply for a time until this resolves.

Subject: biting while nursing
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
