My 9 month old now has 6 teeth and thinks it's very funny to bite me when feeding which hurts alot! He has only been feeding first thing and last thing at night recently and he eats a good veriety of foods during the day and sleeps through. I stopped breastfeeding about 3 days ago but he won't drink formula, at the most he has 2oz a day if i give him it in a cup while he is eating can anyone help?

I'd go back to breastfeeding until you can get him to accept an alternative. Pull him into the breast if he nips you (blocks nose so they open mouth quickly which releases latch). Have you tried different cups? Will he drink expressed milk ok, so that you know it's not the vessel that's the problem?

He drinks water fine out his cup so it just seems to be milk, he has had expressed milk out a bottle fine but not very regular and it was a while ago since he last had it. I really don't want to feed him anymore he kind of hangs onto me and thinks its funny - i end up having to poke him hard to get him off! Have fed my 3 others fine it's just this little monkey
