Many women are afraid of nursing their babies as soon as start developing teeth, some just stop breastfeeding altogether because they are scared the baby might bite one of these days! Of course their fears are justified as the teeth of infants are sharper than that of adults and very much painful. Babies like biting when they are teething or just developing new teeth. I've seen some nursing mothers spank their babies hard because of biting. I also read about a Chinese woman who stabbed her baby's face with pieces of glasses and left him to bleed to death all because he bit her during breastfeeding. Now that's extreme but even though I'm not a woman, I can imagine how painful it can be. One thing I've observed is that a hungry baby will never bite. It's only when he's been forced to suck against his will or when he's bored that he's most likely to bite but nursing mothers often fail to notice these signs. Different women have different reactions when they experience these bitings, some endure while others retaliate! So my question is, how do you react in this situation? How do you prevent it or teach the baby not to repeat it next time?

It actually turns dem on

hehe...OP...it is very normal, it can't be stopped o, can only be reduced. It is mostly seen in very active children. I think they like the fact that they can control the woman's facial expression. I remember my younger sister would look straight into my mum's eyes with one kind of mischievous look like that...when my mum notices, she'll give her a "don't dare it look"... then this girl would start laughing...more like a " I have been caught red handed" kinda laugh ...it happens when they're bored tho...it can probably be reduced by distracting them while breastfeeding, like making smiling faces or funny faces sef. Most mothers don't always have time for that, so they better not complain

OK, I agree with everything u said, especially distracting them during nursing. To be a mother ain't easy

First time, I will give the baby a bad eye, second time, a light tap on his bum, third time, a dirty slap

After that, weaning commences.

Do you know new born babies bite too? Their gums are very sharp. So will you give your new born baby a dirty slap?

Really Tell me more

How can a new born bite when he is still struggling to hold the nipple well.

If per chance it happens, I doubt if it will be as painful as a baby's own with 8 teeth, so I can let it pass

Excatly . . .

By the time a baby is old enough to develop teeth, h/she would have stooped exclusive b'feeeding. So no need to force him to b'feed.

You can feed him mostly cereal and b'feed him, intermittently wen he is really hungry. It will reduce your chances of getting chewed like a teething toy!
