Baby is 6 months old and EBF, cut his bottom teeth at 4 months old, and thought we had nipped then biting in the bud from the get go. But he’s started really biting me again, and oh my gosh it takes everything I have not to scream and react. But it’s starting to hurt and get to me, to the point im thinking about giving up breastfeeding all together.
Does anyone have any tips?
(I have already been doing the unlatch and so no biting and not letting him back on the boob)

If it’s his bottom he’s biting you with he isn’t feeding, when a baby latches their tongue cover their bottom teeth. Just keep removing him when he does it. And possibly offer a tether as a replacement.
it’s usually as he latches, fusses and pulls off and bites me.
I’ve done all of these things and I can’t stop him biting me.
I think I’ve figured it out, I think he was biting me when he wasn’t hungry and I was thinking he was. Turns out he’s reduced his milk intake naturally and I was still offering it the same amount when I thought he was showing hunger signs. Apparently the little buggar just isn’t as hungry as he was 🥹 but was biting me to stop the milk
