my lo is 7mths nw. when he nurses, he likes to stick his thumb or fingers into his mouth to suck at the same time. i feel he sucks air in at the same time. the main thing is this hurts my nipple n i would pull his hand away. but he does this repeatedly at intervals. is this common? does it mean he does not want to nurse? any advice?

Is he teething? If he is, that probably the gums are feeling uncomfortable. Do get him teething toys or teething necklace might help. It's a phrase it probably will get over soon. Hang in there mommy.
