My 7 month old son has grown his two bottom teeth.
I’m breastfeeding but he has bitten a couple of times, breaking the skin. It’s so painful, like the first weeks of breastfeeding before my nipples ‘hardened up’.
I’m applying lansinoh liberally and have skipped a feed today (gave him an expressed bottle from freezer store) to give my right nipple a break.
However, if he continues to bite, I’m going to have to stop breastfeeding due to the pain, which would be a real shame at this point- I had planned to reach 1 year once I’d establish breastfeeding and knew it worked for us.
Any advice on the biting please?!
Obviously I know he’s only 7 months and not trying to hurt me or misbehave- he’s just trying to relieve his teething pain but inflicting it on me!
Thank you.
