2 month old just started a new habit of chomping on my nipple! Any suggestions? Can’t take it!

Question

I’m in pain and he use to suck well and now he is just chomping! Any one experience this and what did you do?

Answer

Immediately pull it out for a minute or two so the baby learns that if they bite you take it away. I did this with my son starting at 2 months as well he got his two bottom teeth at three months so when he’d do it then, I’d pull it out and completely put it away for a good 5 min. He’d cry but eventually learned not to do that anymore.

Answer

My son was 6 or 7 months when he started this, so I’m not sure if the advice is the same for a baby as young as 2 months but here’s the advice I followed and it didn’t take long to break the habit. 
Baby doesn’t bite when they are actively sucking, watch closely for when they have stopped sucking and be proactive removing them from the breast before they start biting (which in their mind is playful). 
When they do bite, try not to react at all, don’t say ouch or no or anything, they are too young to know the difference between a positive and negative reaction so any reaction is good to them and they will do it again for the reaction. Instead just promptly remove them from the breast and end the feeding. Eventually they will learn that doing this means no more feeding and that they do understand. 
If I had to end a feeding when we just started I would feed again after 20-30mins. If it was near the end, I would just stop and he would wait until the next feeding.

Answer

Both my sister and I, at some point or another, chomped down on her while she was feeding us. Both times she screamed and neither of us did it again... I’ve heard of lots of women doing that, I don’t know if it’ll work for you or not.
