Have his favourite teether in sight and in reach for him when your feeding, if he bites, unlatch say your version of don't but me in a firm slightly sad tone and offer the teether. It was the only thing that worked for me and it was about the 6th suggestion! After 2/3 times she would take the teether, unlatch to bite it then relatch to drink
second mollys comment, i would say no we donāt bite firmly, offer something else she could bite, but just to add if she did it again i would say something like if youāre going to carry on biting then we canāt have boobie right now, and wait at least 1 minute if she was upset but more like 5 minutes to offer again, my daughters 28 months now and still breastfeeding and i canāt remember the last time she bit if you stay consistent it really works! i know it seems silly as heās only 7 months old but he will make the connection that if he bites he no longer has boob and it will resolve fairly quickly!!

Help!!!!
Someone please help me with some advice because Iām losing my absolute mind š
Baby is 5 months old, she has changed a lot in personality over the last month, more needy, sleep changes etc but have put it down to the 4 month regression and teething.
However, the problem that makes me want to literally cry is the car seat! She is totally inconsolable now every time sheās in the car. Why? And what can I do to help it?!

PP things I hate
Everything is stress induced anymore
My daughter has this ongoing diarrhea for 2 weeks now and Iāve gotten no sleep from it, I now have a canker sore from it, my acid reflux has more flare ups than ever. I donāt like having sex anymore (I love my partner and I still find him very attractive). Im way too overly touched (by the baby, by the dog and by him). Im 10m pp and I havenāt been able to wear a dang tampon! I donāt do pads because they are just not for me so I wear a diaper.
Please tell me if you relate to any of this at all? Or if Iām just crazy

Anyone else feel like as soon as their baby turned 8m old they are acting like a completely different baby? She's become noticeably more difficult as far as behavior.
Please tell me what your experience is with your 8m old.

Mum guilt
My baby has a really awful latch and breastfeeding can be quite uncomfortable. Iāve had help from the infant feeding team and itās improved but still not great. He doesnāt have a tongue tie.
I think he swallows down a lot of air, he always has trapped wind and an uncomfortable tummy, he fusses and grunts all night long, never burps after feeds. Heās always congested and has hiccups all the time.
I have a fast letdown so I think that also contributes. Iām really really considering switching to formula but the guilt that comes alongside that is killing me.
My eldest was breastfed for 8 months so I feel so shameful considering quitting at just 4 weeks with second baby. I also feel a huge responsibility to keep breastfeeding through winter for the immune system and health benefits.
Iām just really not enjoying breastfeeding this time and itās making me miserable.
Any tips?
