This sort of suffocates them for a second and they usually open their mouth to take a gasp of air in and cease biting. Repeat as often as necessary- if you feel him bearing down or getting ready to bite, start pulling him in closer. They usually figure this out and stop. I agree about nursing them through this age due to the illnesses they are subject to. But if you do want to slowly cut down nursings, be senstive to weather they are nursing out of thirst or need. Offer suitable beverages when he starts circling in to see if it's just thirst. Also, he is growing into a child who needs to have directed activities outside of his mother's lap. Time for other-mothering! Great book called "Mothering Your Nursing Toddler"- get a copy soon!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01356388289507359581noreply@blogger.com
