REPOST for manint....suggestions for nipple pinching baby...more
Zoe' is 2.5 months old and EBF. I have a strong let down reflex and had oversupply--but not too too bad. Zoe' taught herself to pinch my nipple to slow down the flow and I'm really starting to get sore.
I've started feeding on one breast for blocks of time to help reduce the forcefulness of my let down, and I think it is working.
My question is...How do I train the baby that she no longer needs to pinch me?
Opening your mouth wide and saying open to get her to open wide? This may help. Is she pinching after she latches? I would unlatch then do the wide thing again. Your basically retraining her to latch. DO NOT continue nursing while her latch is bad, re latch her even if it takes 20 tries. HTH

Sometimes the stools aren't just the normal BF stools (looser, seedy). Sometimes they seem yellow and liquid/runny (and spill out of the diaper a lot). Normal, or a problem?
