Hello
I'm just looking for some advice. My son is almost 10mo and over the last 4 ish days has been refusing to feed and biting me really hard every time he latches. He pushes the breast away or acts like he wants to feed then bites after less than 30 seconds. I have tried gently pushing his face into the breast and also trying to break the latch with a finger, both of which make him bite harder. A couple of times I have cried or yelped I know I shouldn't but it is hard when your nipple has been fed to the sharks!
Any advice? Could this be a nursing strike? I have tried him with a bottle at bedtime tonight which has also refused (not unusual for him). I'm totally at a loss! I dont want to stop bf as we both normally enjoy it but my nipples are so sore and split I dont see how we can carry on.
Thank you
