I got tired of being Jasmine's chew toy so yesterday I decided time for formula and a bottle. Yesterday she didn't fight me too much but today she acts like I am torturing her and will not take it.Plus everytime she cries I get a little more engorged.This pains me on so many levels... but seriously- I rather have 3 days of misery then 5 more months of being bitten and chewed and twisted. Course now she says Momma and it breaks my little heart to hear her crying " Momma Momma Momma! "

Just tell her not to bite. Now that she knows you mean business you should see an improvement.Laura

I agree with Laura. It is normal at this age to be curious, and look around when nursing. I always firmly took them off, said "don't bite" and it soon stopped.

It's not a recent behavior change, it has been 2 1/2 months of it. I've been firm, I've removed, I have even done the light slap on her mouth- but she still does it the next time I feed her. I am sure she can feel the resentful feelings I have developed everytime it is time for her to nurse and I don't want her to think I have anything but absolute love for her. That is why this is so hard!My first baby, I went a whole year nursing every two hours ( even in the night ). It was HARD! Then my second one cut a tooth at 5 months and started to repeatedly to draw blood so I was SO done!This is my last baby so I hoped to do a whole year with her but the frustration and pain have finally won.

Diana, I totally support you honey and she will catch on to a bottle {especially if she gets hungry enough}...{{{{HUGS}}}}...I had to staop with Peyton, but it wasn't 'cause he was chewing it was just too exhausting trying to work full time, nurse, pump and then come home and take care of the rest of them!!! Wasn't fair to him or me...good luck!

There is nothing wrong with changing..she won't starve. She will get the hang of the bottle. Just hold her really close to you. No thanks on the chew toy!Hugs!

I stopped feeding Cody at 6 months not because he was biting but because I was tired of it, aNd he is turning out JUST FINE! Hang in there...Be persistent!

I just had to say in a loud voice, "NO!" to my dd and she would cry. Of course my son would laugh. Both of my kids quit when I told htem to stop or pulled them off. They only bit once or twice.

Ok, she took a bottle tonight with out any problems. We'll see what happens later in the night. Funny girl... I wonder where she gets her stubborness? I was losing my mind for a few hours there first!!
