Thanks MR & Marcellus I was hoping you ladies would post in here as you always help me out so much.... !!

Ok, so I won't offer her another bottle .... if I do express it's only because I want to ensure my milk supply is ok!!! I'm not ready for the liquid gold to dry up just yet or to stop BF!

I had a feeling she wouldn't be weaning as most babies don't wean this young do they? Like it's not common? but I guess I'm just worrying and getting upset about this biting because it's all very new to me and has come on suddenly iykwim? and hurts!!

The last few days that she's been doing this, we've really only been feeding once in the morning, once around lunch time then once or twice in the arvo and maybe once before bed that's it... so really only 3-4 day feeds.... i know she doesn't need any more than this as she is nearly 1 anyway. I'm not offering as much as I was (probably 3hrly before) and maybe this will help.... so when she does go on, she'll be thirsty for it and not muck around as much.

MR - she bites down sometimes at the beginning and other times at the end. Sometimes in the middle too!! I've been watching her very carefully when she feeds and if she clamps down (which she's still doing today but not real hard today yet....) i am there ready to put my finger in to break the seal. That seems to work better than pressing her into my breast

and thank you MR.... that's a lovely compliment. I am pretty determined, I like to think anyway! I would hate to think I stopped BF and then look back to realise we could have overcome it and kept going! So far today, we've had 2 big beautiful feeds. No biting! SO maybe she is getting the idea.
