hi
During Tuesday night my nearly-8-month old suddenly refused the bfeed for the first time ever - trying to bite me instead. He has been suffering with top 2 teeth coming through, and ever since has just not been interested in feeding, or if he does, only bites (still teething I think, even now).
I am not good at expressing, even after 48 hours when I hired a good pump in desperation (!), and tonight only got 1.5fl ozs off in total - is it drying up yet?
I guess I am looking for any ideas as to a last ditch attempt to get him re-started, or whether I should just take this as a sign from him that he has had enough and go onto formula (I presume I need to do something until 12 months old?).
Thanks,
MG72
