My baby is just over 9months old and I feel like I've now got the the point where I can't breastfeed him any longer. He bites so hard my nipples are bleeding and bruised at least every other day and I'm spending a number of feeds in tears. I've tried pressing his face into my breast and placing him on the floor with a firm no but neither seem to have any impact, and this has been going on for over a month. He also still wakes up to 6 times a night for feeding so the exhaustion isn't helping. He has always been a bottle refuser so I feel like I don't have any other option than to put up with it. My DH thinks I should just stop feeding him and 'if he's hungry enough he'll have a bottle' but I don't think I can put him through it...
