DS, nearly 6 months, is teething horribly and wont eat anything but breastmilk. Fine. Problem is that he really wants to rub his gums while feeding but knows he wont get food, so settles on grabbing two handfuls of boob and squeezing. I have tried just prying him off, necklace, different tops and giving him things to hold. Nothing takes the place of squeezing and pinching me. I have little fingermark bruises everywhere, and that coupled with no sleep is making me very sad. Any ideas?
Have also triedevery teething remedy. Nothing works but Nurofen(and that only just) and you cant give that very often.
