Every time he bites unlatch him and say no biting. Wait a minute before relatching. If you put him back on and he continues to do it stop the nursing session all together. Stay consistent. This way he will learn biting means no milk. If he is genuinely hungry then he will just eat. Breastfed babies tongues rest over their lower gums/teeth so he is moving his tongue to purposely bite you. He could be bored or just not as hungry. My girl used to clamp down with her gums and i did what ive just said to you and she no longer does it. I used to wait until she was just tbat bit hungrier so she would focus on feeding. Now if she wants to bite she will grab my finger and chew my finger. Sometimes she will nurse then bite my finger then go back onto my boob because she's learnt you can't bite mummy's boob but mummy's finger is okay. If he bites towards the end of the session then he's done. Hope it works for you!
Breastfeeding mamas- I need help!
My little guy turns 6 months tomorrow. He has two teeth already, and has started biting while nursing. I don’t know what to do but today he actually broke skin. My first only bit me once, and it never happened again. So I don’t know how to handle this habitual biting. Does anyone have a solution??
