Need hep/encouragement . . . I don't even know
My daughter will be 9 mo this week. She has had weight issues and I had supply issues. We've worked through those and she's doing great. She's been acting like she's been teething for weeks and we can see them just under the surface, but so far they haven't broken through. As she's been teething she's been using my nipples as a chew toy and it obviously doesn't feel good. I've been pulling her off when she does that and it seems to work.
The problem is now I am IN PAIN!!!!! I am in as much pain as I was in the first couple of weeks when she was my vampire baby. I wasn't able to nurse my son past 9 mo (long story) and I REALLY want to make it until at least a year, but I find myself in tears throughout the entire feeding on that side. I don't know how much more I can take. I intentionally have never kept forumla in the house, but I have to admit I'm tempted to go get some today. I admit I've only been letting her nurse on that side as long as I can handle the pain, but I've been letting her nurse extra long on the other side. I've tried soothies, lansinoh, etc and I can't handle it. She's eating some solids now. I've had other "injuries" while nursing my son and now my daughter, but NOTHING like this.
Has anybody else gone through this?
