    Thank your for your advice lovecola06. My son is about a week shy of being 5 months old so he's not quite ready for solids yet. At the moment it seems like he's teething, or so a public health nurse thought, so I'm thinking that when those first teeth come in I'll have to switch to a bottle. He's already chomping down and pulling his head way back while eating so I can't imagine how I'll be able to continue once he's got chompers! I may try using a spoon just to see if that would work.

    Just a heads up, there is no reason to wean simply because a child gets teeth. If he's biting, it's likely due to teething pain. Fix the pain, the biting stops. That said, a properly latched child actively nursing cannot bite.
