EINA... teething and breastfeeding

Baby has sprouted those pearly whites, family and neighbours have come round for the pancakes. But now breastfeeding has become a nightmare as baby keeps trying to bite off your nipples....
Solutions from the sisters from the Facebook page;

1.When she bites, say ouch loudly and take her away from the breast for a minute or so and try again. Only let her stay at the breast if she is not biting. Babies are smart, she will put 2 and 2 together and learn it is something you don't want her to do.
2.  Pinch baby cheek. It worked
3.You just have 2 move them off right away & they start realizing that if they bite then they are not getting anything
