My son who is 11 months has started teething. the other day when drinking milk he but my nipple and I told him it hurt me. after that he started crying bitterly and post that he has refused to be breastfed. he is taking the milk that I express but not coming close to my nipple. it i take him close he cries really bad and is uncontrollable. he is active, putting things in his mouth, coming to me but not taking my nipple. he is also on solids and formula. I fail to understand what the problem is. please advise if possible

A. hi kids during the teething phase suffer from itching in the gums caused by the erupting teeth. give your kid chilled silicon based teething rings to chew on. gently massage the gum pad area
