Teething




Do you have a biter on your hands?  Here are a few suggestions:
  • When your baby bites at the breast immediately remove them and firmly say "NO".  You can set them away from you for a few minutes and then resume the feed.  It shouldn't take more than a time or two before your problem is solved.
  • Try a cold wash cloth or put a teething toy in the freezer. Let your baby chew on these to soothe and numb their gums before feeds.
