LO is not coping well with teething, and neither are my nipples.
Vicious circle, the more he needs comfort, the more it hurts and am more reluctant to feed. He is currently having a really tough time, unable to sleep without me, but it just hurts too much!
Would nipple shields be a reasonable option? The bites are at the base of the nipple, and aren't getting chance to heal as the skin is constantly being streched as he sucks.
I can't listen to him anymore, will offer him the less painful side now, but I really need a solution!
