Just like the title says.. my 7 month old is teething again and seems to take great delight in biting me instead of taking milk. Please offer your advice to stop him from doing this?! He did it for a week or so at 5months but it stopped of its own accord. His teeth are much bigger now though so I can't take it!
It is really putting me off Breastfeeding him anymore and I've tried the usual google responses - pushing his face into the breast so he detaches - sometimes with a firm 'no' sometimes with no words. He often smiles/giggles when I do this. I usually won't feed him again after he bites for at least ten minutes so as not to reward the behaviour.
He's a great eater so it may be that I am offering the breast too frequently? He's perfect overnight when sleepy (am about to try and night wean though).
