So over the past couple days my 10 month old has started biting down at the start of feeding and smiling at me. He will giggle when I react. I’ve started promptly pulling away. He will cry and I will offer my breast again. As soon as I let him have it again he will bite only seconds later.
The last couple feeds he hasn’t even laughed he just gets upset when he bites as he knows I will pull away. I only feed on one side and my nipple has gotten raw and bloody.
It’s just getting a bit stressful and frustrating for both of us. I think he’s teething but even with teething gel he’s still biting. He has recently been sick so I’m unsure if it’s also a comfort thing.
And advice would be appreciated.
I want my son to maintain comfort when feeding but he can probably now feel how tense I am anticipating him to bite down on me 😅 not fun when he has teeth!
