Ouch... What do you do when baby bites you?

N has grown two teeth in the matter of a couple weeks. He is now working on number three and he has started to bite. OUCH,! That hurts.

Whats a girl to do when a precious babe becomes a bit of a terror? Baby bites you say ouch, and if your baby is like mine they will laugh at you. Here is what I do. It worked great for my daughter. 

As soon as baby bites unlatch them.  Either turn them away from the breast or if it doesn't cause them too much stress, put them down and go do something else. When baby fusses or acts hungry latch them back on. If they bite again repeat. If baby starts to immediately fuss as if hungry, give them 1-2 minutes then re latch. After a few times they will start to connect that making mom jump and say ouch, will make the food go away. As i remember it R took only a few bites before she learned it was not worth it. Even with a mouth full of teeth I did not suffer too bad.

N is still mostly nursing. He is 5 months and only eats solids from time to time. He is teething and teething babies due nothing better then gnawing away at things, including mom. Try to stay calm and react as little as possible. As always babies feed off your energy. 

Good luck!  Feel free to share your idea about how to stop biting and ask any questions you might have.......

Kawaii Baby Diaper Review

Here is our three week review of our Kawaiis.

I do not like the original square tabs. They do not fit N right. There is not as many adjustment possibilities, and I just cant get a perfect fit.


However my go to nighttime diaper is the mom label bamboo. They fit N great, nice and snug, yet still look comfortable. They are super soft both inside and out. They are a bit thicker and heavier then Alva bamboo. 

I did not think I was going to like the pocket closure on the Kawaiis, but they actualy work great. I will also do a you tube video for these later.

They hold up really well. There is less pilling on the fleece then Alvas. They are so easy to snap, but hold really well.

Alva Baby Diaper review 3 weeks in....




Alright so we are hitting that three week mark and I wanted to update on how I am liking my Alvas.

I am still loving them. So far I still have no PUL issues and they just fit N great. They are soft. The fleece does a great job wicking away the moisture. And the opening makes for easy stuffing. 

My top favorite Alvas are the bamboo. I wish I had ordered more. They are extra soft, both on the inside and out. I also feel that they are. Little lighter, and have a little extra give. I will post a youtube video about it.

This a picture of the bamboo Alva....
