"Hi I'm Veronica Baragas with mygigglesandwiggles.com, and I'm going to share with you how to keep a breast feeding baby from biting. Now there's not too many things that you could really do to help prevent it.

It's going to be very painful for you of course, but try not to do any sudden movements or hard jerks. I think just removing the baby shortly, and giving it a few minutes to kind of think about, or maybe not really thing about but to just give it a few minutes to realize what happens.

So I think there is only a few ways and that's probably the best way to help a breast feeding baby from biting."
