Biting

Baby has started biting me whilst feeding been taking her off the boob after she has done it but the pain I don’t think I want to carry on if this is gonna keep happening. Her bottom teeth have cut through so they are sharp 😅 any advice would be helpful

My only advice is it shouldn't last long. I know that's not a lot but my little one really started nipping me when her teeth first came through and I felt just like you. I just kept working at it and I have a firm rule that bitting mummy means no more milk so she doesn't mess about anymore. She still sometimes nips me... and that's how I can tell when she's getting a new tooth now 😅 She's 11 months now and has 7 teeth 😱 she's been getting them since she was about 4/5 months I always kept telling her if she keeps bitting there will be no more boobie and only bottle (which she has always refused), but as serious as I felt when saying it, I could never give up breastfeeding ❤️

Some babies are more persistent biters than others. Get some silverettes to help them heal, and also soak the cuts in warm salt water also helps with the healing process
