    biting at breastfeeds is it due to teething or a sign ate enough whendidnt seem to?

    6 mnth old biting at breast feeds

    is it a sign he has eaten enough bt actually i dont think he has at those times

    or is it more likely connected to teething?

    thanks

    In my experience, biting was always related to teething. It was sometimes done with a cheeky look, but I got to know when a bite was on its way and was able to stop it LOL. I made it clear that biting wasn't on... just sitting them up or putting them straight on the floor if they bit me. They did learn eventually, but it usually was related to teething and it passed pretty quickly.

    I found that it was almost always due to teething but generally towards the end of a feed while they were teething (hope that made sense)
    During those times I would always keep my pinky short so if I new he was getting towards the end of a feed I would be ready to unlatch him
