Biting while nursing? OUCH. 😩
Here are a few tips to save your ni***es (and your sanity)!
✔️ Stay calm: Gently break the latch with your finger and say, “No biting.”
✔️ Take a break: Pause nursing briefly so baby learns that biting means milk stops.
✔️ Offer a teether: A chilled teether before nursing can help soothe sore gums.
✔️ Watch for cues: Biting often happens when baby is distracted, playful, or finishing a feed.
✔️ Check the latch: A deep latch helps prevent biting!
And remember, biting doesn’t mean your breastfeeding journey has to end!!
Mamas, what worked for your little biter?
