Comfort Sucking

Hi Ladies need some more of your lovely advice. My daughter is 13 almost 14 weeks old and has recently been wanting to comfort suck a lot but she won't take a pacifer ( I have tried soothies and mam) When I am home I have no problem cuddling with her and keeping her on my breast to comfort her (maybe this is bad?) however when I am at work is when the problem arises. She'll take a bottle no problem and suck on it but it's recently lead to over feeding. I need advice on things my husband and baby sitter can do when I am not home. We do believe part of the reason she wants to suck more is because she is teething.

    You could try more smaller bottles, but also, look up techniques for soothing baby. Rocking, swinging, swaddling, take baby out to the fresh air if it's nice.

    Have you tried giving her a teething ring to suck on?
    Or my son loved sucking on his burp clothes.
    Or take a baby washcloth, roll it up, wet one end and stick in freezer for 15 minutes.
