[quote=Anonymous]1. When nursing always have a finger ready. Right next to the baby’s mouth. The moment baby bites finger goes in next to teeth to prevent biting down further and you keep mouth open with the finger (I use side of knuckle) and de latch. 2. Yell loudly, no biting, biting hurts. Make a mean face at baby. Get their attention and scare them a bit. Don’t continue nursing, set them down in a crib. You’re trying to make them make a connection between biting and losing nursing. Let them cry for a bit and then calm them down and try again. 3. If they really bite down, pinch the nose. Gently or hard if necessary. It cuts off their breathing so they have to open the mouth to breathe and spares the nipples Both my kids were prolific nursers and I had to nip the biting in the bud. Good luck. [/quote]
