I posted the other day about my DS (3mo) biting when he's feeding. I got a few suggestions, tried them, but nothing worked. His feeding habits have changed the last week or so and I'm finding things a bit difficult. He's become very fussy, breaks off all the time, sometimes takes forever to feed, other times is done in 5 minutes. He's refusing his last evening feed and then waking several times overnight, whereas before he was only waking once. And the biting is getting worse. He clamps down and shakes his head about. So painful!
He's in a routine and I'm wondering if that should be altered, although he doesnt seem to be hungry outside his regular feeding times, apart from overnight. Do feeding habits generally change over time? I asked the health visitor but she was useless and said we'd talk about weaning at her next appointment in June, which wasn't what I was asking!
I do want to continue breastfeeding for a bit longer. It's getting very hard though, and it's been so easy so far. But I'd like to keep my nipples and sanity intact!
