Patient's question:
The baby is seven and a half months old now, and two small teeth have grown on the lower jaw. During breastfeeding, the baby keeps biting the mother's nipple, but it hurts the mother badly every time the baby bites. I am looking for a solution. For the past four or five days, the baby has been biting the mother while breastfeeding. There is no treatment at the moment. Please provide an answer, I really need your help!!!Doctor's answer:
Friend: Based on the above situation, don't worry. When babies are teething, their gums can be itchy, and they may use the nipple to rub against it. Suggestion: Apply cold compress to the breast at the damaged area and use erythromycin eye drops. Increase the frequency of feeding, pay attention to prevent the baby from biting the nipple during each feeding, immediately pull out if it happens, and provide verbal communication. Thank you. The above advice is for the question "How to solve the problem of the baby biting the mother's nipple painfully." It is hoped that it will be helpful to you. Wishing you health!
