I posted here the other day re my DS's biting and I have tried to alter a few things, eg feed him his dinner earlier so he is hungrier for a milk feed by bedtime, tried to say gently 'no don't bite when you get your milk' and also praised him when he does it without biting. He only ever does it at his bedtime feed.
I am now typing this after being in tears tonight with him biting me so hard (has 3 teeth now so OUCH), tears due to the pain but also because I then put him in his cot and said 'no milk if you are biting' and he WAILED and is still wailing! Plus I am feeling sad that this could be the end of my breastfeeding him?
What do you think I should do? Do you think the biting will continue? Or should I call it quits and give him some EBM or formula? The problem is though that he hated bottles and I haven't even attempted a bottle since he was about 4 months old! ARGH!!!
