breastfeeding hurts now

Support Needed

I’ve been ebf my daughter for 11 months. I’ve never had any problems with pain even when she first began teething.

But now randomly it freaking hurts. It’s like she doesn’t get a wide latch anymore or something. It doesn’t feel like she’s purposefully biting me but man does it hurt.

I had no intention of stopping breastfeeding until now. she has rejected formula. I’m not sure if it’s the bottle or the milk but she’s had formula bottles before, though it’s been a few months. Meaning I have to hope she takes it in her straw cup, start pumping (which I HATE doing) or just accept the pain.

Any tips? Sincerely, my sore nips
