Im in your exact position right now.. my son is 6 months old.. I just gotta say that if you really want to stop go for it.. but its going to be so hard to stop because all shes use to is the breast. what about pumping??? you dont have to give the milk in a bottle, you can put it in a sippy cup so that would be even better for you!! because all babies well most get a sippy cup and shes 6 months so she should be able to drink from a cup..

now what iam doin is still feeding.. if he bites me i dont yank him off because that can do more damage than good.. i unlatch him by puttin my finger in his mouth i say no bite, and i put him down let him cry for a couple minutes and then put him back on when he starts crying again..

Iam also giving him a little bit of formula because its really hard to get him to drink it.. and im trying to get him on a sippy cup so he can drink other things..  so like i said you do what you need to do but thats what ive got to say...

Good Luck

you just do what you feel is best for the both of you , you have already done a fantastic job lasting that long xxxxxxxxdont feel bad

Don't feel bad! If you want to stop, then do so. I think you have done a great thing by doing this for so long, 6 months is awesome. Do what you want to do. I don't blame you, I bet it hurts!!

I know exactly what you're going through!! I had this problem about three months ago and I thought it would be the end of me. I followed the advice some great minti members gave me and Nick stopped biting pretty soon after that. The best advice I can give aside from doing your best to discourage biting is to try to relax. When you're feeding the most important thing to do is breathe deeply to help calm bub down. She'll bite more if she senses your tension. Don't worry it is just a phase and it will pass.. I thought it wouldn't, but it does!!

I really hope this helps!! In the end though, like Nell said, do what's right for you. Whatever you choose to do is the right thing to do. Be confident about whatever you choose because you're mum and only you know what's best for you and bub.

I had the same problem and mine would not stop whatever I tried
It came to me dreading feeding and getting worked up before even starting
If you aren't able to stop the feeding, then don't give yourself a hard time and beat yourself up about it emotionally, you have fed the baby for 6 months that is a great start for the baby
Do what is best for you and your baby, if putting the baby on a bottle helps you both then do it.
I had to and I refused to feel bad about it
Resenting feeding time wasn't helping me or my baby

I have to agree with madmel, my daughter did this too when she was about 9 or 10 months old.  I told her "Uh-uh!" and put her down. She cried for a few minutes and I told her "That hurts Mummy" and picked her up again to soothe her.  She only bit a few times and it was times when she was teething. The worst bite was when she was nearly 1 and she'd fallen asleep, I tried to take her off and she clamped down hard before pulling off without letting loose with her teeth before letting go. This left me bleeding a couple of places but she didn't mean to.  Just perservere with her and make sure you tell her no and take her off each time she bites so she associates it with the biting.  Good luck.

You dont have to stop. What you need to do is let her know that the behaviour is not acceptable. Take her straight off the boob and strernly tell her no! Dont put her straight back on. Wait a minute. If she does it again do the same thing. She will stop. Shes probably teething too :(

Why not express your breast milk and just use a bottle to feed her, that way she is still gettin the goodness from the breast milk and not injuring your in the process lol
