Breastfeeding Manners

Teething can make a baby's gums swollen and sore and baby may nurse differently or even bite.

A baby cannot bite while he is actively nursing. You can prevent or anticipate biting by doing the following:
1) Giving your complete attention with eye contact, touching and talking.
2) Learn to recognize the end of a nursing since most biting occurs once baby loses interest.
3) Breast compress to encourage flow to prevent an impatient baby from biting

Create a pleasant and comfortable breastfeeding experience for you and baby by teaching good breastfeeding manners!
