A. i think you should guide the baby while feeding. Try to tell him/her that it’s mummy nipple, don’t bite. It hurts a lot. Show them that it’s really painfull. i mean you need to act in front of baby. what we tell them they understand sometime super fast sometimes slowly but they grab. trust me it will work. I have done with my kid. He never bites me on my nipple.

A. here for proper comments is very difficult until and unless a proper examination is done to find out the exact cause so it would be better if you consult yofrur doctor so that he can examine properly and than will guide you accordingly regarding this

A. Use. Nipple shield if you are still breastfeeding your child because when a child is having its teeth they find it very soothing to bite against the nipple because they have so much of irritation in the gums which is why they do it so you start using a nipple shield that will protect you
