Biting During breastfeeding...won't Take a Bottle!

Are you giving the baby formula or breast milk in the bottle? If formula, have you tried a different brand or variety of formula, like soy? I've heard to wait a week and then try again. IF no luck, I'd ask your pediatrician. Or try looking on babycenter.com. Good luck!

Try a SOFT flick on your babys nose each time she bites you... NOT hard, just enough to get her attention, after a few days she will catch on that when she bites mommy that she gets flicked and she will not do it any more. I breast fed both my girls and they both bit when they got teeth... and both stopped soon after doing this. Dont stop breast feeding. it such a wonderfull thing you can do for your baby!!! Nipple shields are also a wonderfull suggestion if your nipples have been hurt. Good luck!!

HA! I'm actually going through the same thing. My daughter is 7-months-old and has two tiny teeth as well! I know the feeling, trust me! I actually tried cold formula. I did not warm it up, because I figured since she is teething, the cold will help numb the pain. I think feeding her regular baby food helps transition baby to bottle and sippy cups. You should try that if you already haven't. Good LUCK to you!!

Hi! Have you tried a nipple shield? I used one with my third child, because he was having a hard time latching on. It helped keep me from getting sore and was a barrier when he occassionally tried to bite! They sell them at Babies R us by Arrowhead Mall. Hope this is helpful!
