BF baby biting nipples!

Charlotte

Afternoon everyone, hope you're all keeping safe and well in this current climate!

I wondered if anyone else has is breastfeeding and having issues with baby taking experimental bites on their nips? Man, I love my wee girl, but she's clearly trying out her new teeth for size sometimes! It's mostly during the day feeds she does this, during the night she's too sleepy to bother. She tends to giggle when I yelp so I suspect there's also an element of cause-and-effect awareness potentially creeping in 😂. Any advice on how to nip this habit in the bud (pardon the pun) would be much appreciated!

(Meant to add, she is flat out refusing a bottle of breast milk for now, we'll keep trying though for the times she's doing this)
