>>I had a call from a mom today that is coming to see me on Tues morning that
has a 2 year old that until about 4 weeks ago was nursing 6 - 8 times a day,
recently mom reports that the child is "nursing funny" pulling her nipple
harder and when she lets go there are tooth marks on the top of moms aerola
from the childs top teeth and the nipple is bent down at an
angle, mom says the nursing is not excruciating but it is uncomfortable<<

Cindy,
This type of behavior often goes along with decreased milk supply. Any chance
this mom is pregnant?
