I don't want to quit! But the fear is paralyzing me. I feel depressed and betrayed.

She has only really bitten twice, and both times they have been toward the beginning. The original bite was around midnight, we were nursing in bed and both half asleep. It took me a few min to wake up and realize what was happening and by then the damage was done. Yesterday when it happened again she nursed for maybe 1 min and I'm pretty sure she was hungry. In retrospect tho, he tv was loud, we were in the living room and her daddy was close by, I think something distracted her and made her pull back exposing the teeth.

When I worked up the courage to nurse her again on the good boob yesterday I held her head very close to me which she didn't really like and I kept the session short.

She does take solids but not a whole lot. She eats about 1/4 tub of veggie & fruit at noon and dinnertime and I always nurse first. Problem is she is so distractible that she never nurses very well these days and I feel like I'm offering all the time. That has to stop, I have to feed her only when she is truly hungry and ready to nurse properly.

She is most definatley teething, chewing on everything in sight, irritable and cranky. I'm not sure if she's working on a top tooth or more bottom, she has the two middle bottom now.
