DS is 8mo and has five teeth (two bottom centre, one top centre, two top either side).
I have worked really bloody hard to breastfeed him; I was expressing from two weeks to three months before I was finally able to totally breastfeed him. He has a bottle of formula at bedtime simply so that DH can take over and give me a break. He's never had an issue going from breast to bottle.
Now that his top centre teeth are coming in, he is unintentionally grazing against my nipple and biting, which means I have to keep interrupting him, and it really hurts! I'm going to go to the breastfeeding cafe next Monday for advice but I'm starting to think it's time to give up breastfeeding altogether. This isn't what I want to do, partly due to the expense of formula, partly because I feel I've worked too hard to get to this point only to give up now. I don't want to express again - that nearly killed me with stress.
Any advice? Anyone been in the same situation?
