How to prevent your baby from biting the nipple? Mom wants to save herself like this…

The baby\’s teething is a great event to be happy about, but when the baby bites the \”granary\” with its small teeth, every mother must have to endure it to keep silent, and even feel angry in her heart, wanting to think about it every minute. Throw the baby away! So how can a mother avoid being bitten? Doudehui will give you some tips for all moms out there! Why do babies always bite their nipples? 1. Teething babies will have swollen gums, pain and itching when teething. They will try to relieve the discomfort by chewing. At this time, if there is a bottle, bite the pacifier, if there is a mother, bite the nipple. 2. Curiosity As the age of the baby increases, the baby\’s curiosity and activity level increase day by day. Some babies will deliberately pull and bite their nipples when feeding. 3. Wrong latching posture. The correct posture is when the baby takes the lower areola into the mouth and the gums are close to the edge of the areola. Teeth will not be felt when latching on and feeding correctly, because the tongue is on the lower gums when the baby is sucking at the breast, so the baby cannot bite while actively feeding. The following is the correct way to latch on to the breast. Refer to the picture below. If a mother only latches on the nipple when feeding, she needs to correct it as soon as possible! 4. Too hungry If the baby is too hungry or the milk flow is too slow, he will bite the nipple to express dissatisfaction. 5. A well-fed baby will not bite the nipple when it is full. When biting, the baby has already finished feeding. Therefore, mothers who have been bitten should pay attention during the breastfeeding process. When they see that the baby has eaten enough milk, the swallowing movement has slowed down, and the baby starts sucking recreationally, they can try to pull out the nipple to prevent the baby from biting. Save yourself safely! 1. Mom should be calm. Don’t yell when mom is bitten. I know it is difficult, but this is a very critical point. If the mother reacts strongly, the baby will mistakenly think it is fun and will intensify the nipple biting next time. 2. Specific methods: When bitten by the baby, do not pull the nipple hard, otherwise the baby will bite it tighter, and the nipple will be easily injured at this time. The correct approach is to stay calm (it is indeed not easy), then hold the baby tightly, put the rest of the breast close to the baby\’s nose, so that the baby temporarily feels short of breath, and then the baby will loosen its mouth on its own. At the same time, you must say to the baby seriously and firmly: \”Don\’t bite mommy\” (the baby can feel the mother\’s emotions). This behavior needs to be repeated repeatedly to achieve the desired effect. 3. In the frequent stage, when biting the nipple is more frequent, you can put a finger near the baby\’s mouth during feeding. As soon as you feel the baby begins to tighten the teeth, insert your finger between the baby\’s gums and bend your fingertips to hook the nipple to protect the nipple. Not squeezed. If you have been bitten by a baby, you can apply some suet ointment. This ointment is very safe and it does not matter if the baby eats it. In addition, breast milk itself can reduce bacterial content and reduce the risk of infection, so after feeding, you can squeeze a few drops of milk and apply it on your nipples to act as a natural cream.
