My dd is coming up to 9 months old and breast milk is her main source of nutrition as I hope it wll be for a while yet. During the last week she's been biting really badly and today she's drawn blood on both nipples before midday.
I've read all the suff about not reacting etc and I really do try but it's easier said than done. Today I got so angry I screamed at her..... poor baby, she got really upset too. I don't want to put her off feeding or spoil what has up to now been a beautiful breastfeeding relationship.
Has anyone out there been in, or currently in a similar predicament? Any wise words would be gratefully received. A repeat performance of this morning's antics is unthinkable. I'm so shaken and scared by my anger I can't stop crying.
