Breastfeeding

biting

Even though DD doesn't have teeth yet, she has gotten in the habbit of clamping down toward the end of a nursing session. Then while clamping down she pulls off. Needless to say it hurts like mad!! Since she is 5.5 months old, I'm sure teeth are around the corner so I would like to get this habit corrected ASAP. I've tried pushing her face into my boob so she has to breathe through her mouth and unclamp, but she has learned to just turn her head so that trick doesn't work. I've also tried getting my pinky in her mouth to unlatch right before she does it, but that rarely works. I have even screamed in pain, on accident, and she just smiles with my nipple clamped between her gums. Any other tactics you all have tried that have been successful?
