BF Question

rjeller32 · April 2013

I know teething is quite some time away, but I am terrified of teeth near my nipple. I didn't BF with my first for very long, and I plan to go a full year this time around, which has been working out great. I just am terrified of her chomping down like I am chew toy, I mean she has done it once or twice now and it hasn't felt to good. Is there a way to train them to not do that? WWYD (STM's) when your LO bit you or did they at all?

I've heard lots of people will unlatch them every time they bite down. This trains them not to bite if they want to eat.

This has been my experience...

Baby bites. I remove my breast from baby's mouth, firmly say, "No biting." and then continue nursing. Each time baby bites, I will again remove my breast and say no.

Babies be smart, yo. They catch on. </

DD bit me once and it was because she was upset and I tried to use a boob to calm her down. Bad idea. Other than that she never bit me in 2 years of nursing. I think removing the nipple and firmly say no biting will do the trick.
