I am sorry to say my days of nursing my son are soon to be dwindling. Two days ago DJ bit me for the first time while nursing. It was quite a shock. I let it go thinking he was a reasonable 8 mo old and that it wouldn't happen again since I unlatched him and said "Ow, that hurts mommy." Later on that day on that same side he bit me again and I flicked his nose thinking that would solve it. But no, it happened again later on that day on that very same side and drew a little blood. At that moment after I finished blacking out I realized I would soon be ending the nursing.

I do have to say that he hasn't bitten me since, but I know it needs to happen. It makes me feel very sad. I enjoy having this closeness with him that he will never have with anyone else. It is and will always will be a once in a lifetime experience.
