Question

Accepted Answer

babies bite while breastfeeding for several reasons
-poor latch/ attachment
-too much milk flow
-low milk supply
-a cold or stuffy nose
-being full
-distraction or boredom
-teething

you can calmly say something such as “no biting” as you remove your breast
don’t pull your baby off too quickly. removing a baby that is still firmly latched can cause more injury to your nipple. 
 to ease the pain and protect your nipples, you can try:

-nipple cream, such as purified lanolin 
-cold packs
-nursing on the unbitten side first — breastfeeding tends to be most vigorous at the beginning of a nursing session
-pain relievers that are safe for breastfeeding, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen can be taken
-using a pump to maintain your milk supply as you heal

biting is usually a temporary problem and babies quickly learn to stop.
a lactation consultant can help you find strategies to continue breastfeeding for as long as you and your baby wish. d
