A. 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. for sore nipple as well as painful nipple you will have to give rest to that breast and nipple for few days and do not give breastfeeding from that side. nipple creams are available for healing.d you can also apply your own breast milk to decrease the soreness. if the pain is severe you can take paracetamol also if there is rash as well as cut on the nipple you can apply nipcare or t dbact cream for healing. if there is no improvement then kindly meet your doctor
