" I can squirt several little streams of milk across the shower at a pretty high velocity (and sometimes do so for fun because I'm very easily entertained...). "
HA! Yeah I'm easily amused like that as well. ^.^ When I was painfully full I would see if I could target things in the shower. heh. I did find out a bit of random trivia - if you shoot someone with it, it's considered in some states as assault with bodily fluids (similar to spitting on someone). There ya go. :)
As for the teeth, since mine is a few months older, I can appreciate the anticipation and fear. I had two or three instances where she nipped. No blood, just a bad pinch. Baby teeth are sharp so it doesn't take a lot of pressure to hurt.
Sometimes the skin of the nipple gets caught between her teeth, that's just more annoying then painful. What I currently have issues with is that she passes out on a good solid feeding.....and when her mouth relaxes my nipple gets trapped between teeth.
I haven't discovered a solution to this yet, aside from gently sticking my finger in the corner of her mouth to pry it open. ^.^ Sometimes that backfires and she, in her sleep, clenches her mouth shut. >.O
I'm glad you got the help you needed. And I'm happy you stuck with it. It /is/ very satisfying, as well as soothing and relaxing. Sometimes I find myself falling asleep with baby attached despite my best efforts to stay awake. ^.^
