I have a 14 month baby who I still feed once or twice a day (depends what we're up to) or loads more when he's ill.
However, recently he's biting me terribly. He latches on and then he'll suddenly clamp down and pull back so my nipple gets scraped between his teeth, it's excruciating.
I've tried saying no and stopping the feed but he's so upset! And now he bites and then shakes his head and starts crying - presumably because he knows I'm going to stop him feeding. It's like he can't stop himself.
I wonder if it might be kinder to just stop - he's ending up quite upset and I end up with sore nipples - but I really don't want to. Do I just tough it out?
