Hello, moms! Could you please advise? My baby is almost 2 months and 2 weeks old. We were switched to formula based on medical advice, and now we're gradually returning to breastfeeding. During feeding, he started biting and pulling at my nipple, which is now bleeding. How can I teach him not to bite?

When your baby bites during feeding, gently stop and let them understand that it causes discomfort. You can calmly say "no" or "ouch" and remove the nipple. Gradually, teach them to latch onto the breast properly, avoiding play with the nipple and not encouraging biting. Use distraction toys during feeding to help them focus on more than just the nipple.

Захват при кормлении с бутылочки и грудью разный, ребенок привык к бутылке, ему нужно время, чтобы перестроиться. Нужно вкладывать не сосок в рот, а вместе с ореолой. Посмотрите в инете — правильный захват груди. Пока больно можно использовать накладки на сосок

This is due to the bottle and a different latch. Try using nipple shields while it heals. Later, teach the correct latch so that the baby takes not just the nipple but as much of the areola as possible.

Apply Panthenol; it helps with healing. Check the milk flow, as your baby might be feeling anxious because he's still very young. During the day, I fed my baby with formula, and at night, I breastfed (we had a milk allergy). Maybe that's the same for you? Drink plenty of water at night, as you'll be producing a lot of milk.

Masha 🤦 Are you even listening to yourselves?! The baby is only 2 months old—what could he possibly understand? 🤦
