Like chomping down and won't let go. I'm in agony most feeds. She's only doing what she used to do without teeth but this isn't really working for me now she has two!!

What can I do???!!!!

She will only take a bottle of expressed milk which i don't have enough of atm. I would happily switch to formula at this point but she won't take it. Help

Years ago my 7 month started this. I was ready to give up and swap to formula but I rang one of the BFing Helplines before I did. I can't remember what tips they gave me now but I remember that it stopped and I carried on BFing. Might be worth giving them a call?

Also, if they're BF they're only used to having around 25 floz a day.

BF babies don't need to drink the huge quantities of milk that a FF baby would.

So if they're taking between 1 and 3 Floz from a bottle when you first introduce it, that's perfectly normal and counted as a full feed Flowers
