DD bit me three times this morning, hard on the nipple and i went OUCH, she burst into tears and refused to go on breast again. Since then has only had one feed (mid morning). She normally has a feed mid afternoon but cried and pushed away when I offered breast. Had wanted to bf until she was at least a year old, so would be really sad if I've put her off the breast. I've not offered her any formula in a cup (which is what dh does when I'm not around to feed her).
The other thing is, she has a terrible cold at moment with horrible amounts of snot coming out of her nose and she rubs her nose and eyes all the time. DH thinks that she has gone off the breast because she finds it difficult to breath whilst sucking.
Not sure what to do at bedtime if she won't breast feed. Should I offer her formula in a cup? Part of me doesn't want to as I fear it might put her off the breast forever but don't want to deprive her of milk if that's what she wants.
Any thoughts?
