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 ands babies quickly learn to stop. a lactation consultant can help you find strategies to continue breastfeedingz for as long as you and your baby wish.
