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

A. Kids actually behave like this it’s very common normal normal with them so please do not worry about it but if it is paining you are hurting you then you can definitely use nipple shield whenever you are feeding your child
