I need some ideas for a mother of a 10 month old--second baby. Tandem  
nursing with 2.5 yr. old who breastfeeds once or twice every few days.   Baby 
has two bottom teeth (very sharp). He's not really biting but rests his  teeth 
on the nipple causing cracks. Mother has tried stopping the nursing when  
he does this or pulling him in closer to no avail. She's afraid if she  stops 
the feeding every time he is rubbing or resting teeth on the nipple he  
will develop an aversion to nursing. He may be heading in that direction.   Any 
ideas?  Please send answers to me privately as well as to the  list.  It's 
kind of late notice but I'd love to be able to share some ideas  with her in 
Support Group tomorrow.
 
Thanks.
