My DD is coming up to nine months and has always been quite full on when breast feeding. She's been teething for a while but has a new one in the middle at the bottom and I've never known pain like it. She finds it funny too.
I've been saying no firmly and poking her in the cheek and the last few times I've put her on the floor and she cries. I feel bad doing that she seems too young to be punished but I'm so sore and I urgently need her to make the connection that biting isn't a good idea. I'm using multi mam compresses and I've stopped feeding on demand so I'm feeding when she's due a nap instead as it's the most reliable way to get her to sleep.
I was planning on going straight to cows milk in cups when she's one - she does drink water from a cup at the moment but I'm not sure if I'm confident I could get her to drink the right amount of formula if I switch to that for three months.
Any advice or experience?
