yeowch!

so who knew that after almost 8 blissful months of successful and wonderful breastfeeding that it might all have to end so fast? the boobah now has 2 teeth. her 2 bottom teeth and they are like 2 razors. she's bit me 4 times total over the past week and everytime she does it i yelp and scare the shit out of her. we don't ever yell in my house so she's just not used to raised voices. so the poor girl instantly stares at me with those big, beautiful, innocent eyes totally freaked out and then starts to cry. so i start to cry. not necessarily because it hurts (and it REALLY hurts) but because i feel so guilty and horrible that i've scared her. so after this fiasco last night, i got her to bed per usual and realized that i was in a horrible funk. i feel this pit inside of my stomach like i've done something wrong...yet i haven't. but i can't explain this feeling...i had hoped to breastfeed her for a year so i wouldn't have to use formula but if it keeps happening i'll have to. because now everytime i feed her i'm tense, waiting for her to bite.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr....

yowza! i wanted to breastfeed, too. sometimes it doesn't work out that's that. let's search all of our books to get some advice on chewing/feeding...this has to have happened to other people!
