all bubs bite, the trick is to learn how to breastfeed so that biting is not possible.

we were in a situation that i was dreading feeding my bub, cos of the biting. i posted about it, and a wonderful BB member talked me thru how to it - AND IT WORKED. She is a ABA breastfeeding counsellor, so knows all about it. It came down to me relearning how to HOLD my baby whilst feeding, POSITIONING her so that my nipple was in her BACK PALATE. I did what the BB member told me to do, and no more biting. I think in the first year of feeding, i had forgotten the early tips i was taught, got a bit lazy, which worked fine, when she had no teeth, but once the teeth came, BOY did i find out all about it!

So, i was amazed how quickly and easily this prob was resolved, by someone in the know, telling me the tricks to making biting impossible. (If bub is effectively "on their back" arching up to feed, they cannot bite DOWN on you. See? )

so HOW i held her (positioning)
and WHERE i put my nipple (in her back palate)
made all the difference.

i am not a bf-ing counsellor, so i doubt the way i have explained it would help you, but i encourage you to ring the aba phone helpline (free) which is 1800 686 2 686 to speak to a bf-ing counsellor. this is such a common problem, seeings as every bub grows teeth eventually!

oh, and as baby grew older, breastfeeding necklace was handy, for distraction value.
