Tonight my 6mo who's teething (but doesn't actually have any teeth yet) started biting down on my nipple while feeding. She did it 3 times and each time I pulled away yelping in pain (amazing how hard she can bite without any teeth !). The 3rd time I shrieked so loudly it scared her and made her cry
I'm really worried about this new development. If she keeps on doing this at every feed I think I'll have to stop bfing and I wasn't planning to stop yet. I don't even know how I'd stop. Can you just stop all of a sudden? I wouldn't know how much formula to give or anything.
Sorry for rant...over-tired and stressed and now worried that I'm going to have to stop bfing. Please help.
