My child is biting me, what’s the reason? What should I do? Mothers who encounter this problem feel both painful and seemingly helpless. First of all, what should I do if I have been bitten? 1. Do not pull out hard when bitten, this will only make the skin further injury. Use your fingers into the baby’s mouth, press the gums to make the baby exit. 2. Gently pinch the baby’s little nose, you can make the baby not loose mouth open mouth, so as to withdraw the nipple. 3. The wound can be relieved with breast milk or goat fat cream. Reasons why children bite Then, let’s talk about why children bite you. Babies don’t bite for no reason, and we have to find out why before we can find a solution. Most babies bite their mothers for a reason, perhaps because the mother is at work or busy with other things that cause her to not pay enough attention to him. So, many mothers will say, after the baby bites me will stare at me and look at me. That look seems to be demonstrating: see how you dare to ignore me. Some mothers understand that they will pay more attention to their children and this situation has been alleviated. And working mothers are quite aggravated and distressed. In fact, what we gain is the understanding and forgiveness of our children, no matter how old they are. As long as you communicate with him, let him know that you still love him and let him know what you are leaving him to do. And that you are dedicated to being there for him while you are with him. He will soon understand that mommy did not leave him. 2. Teething! When babies are teething, mothers can prepare some teething gel for their children to use to ease their discomfort. Interestingly, teething and mother-infant separation often occur at the same time, which aggravates the situation of the child biting his mother. Curious about the baby’s new toy Maybe your child is curious to see the “start button” that can make mommy “scream”. I’ll try it again, WOW, it really works! If you meet such a child, you can only pretend to calm down, but to pause to give him milk, let him know that this game is not fun – “press the button” = “no milk”. . How to prevent babies from biting their mothers Before a child bites, there is often a movement to quit and bite down. Moms can watch carefully. If the breast is very deep, the child cannot bite down and must withdraw to where the areola and nipple meet to bite down. So, if you know the signs that your child is going to bite, you can avoid being bitten to the greatest extent possible during this teething period. 1. Put your arm around the baby’s shoulders while breastfeeding to keep the child more stable on the mother’s chest while breastfeeding. Don’t buckle the back of the head, it can be uncomfortable! In fact, it is still important to gently but firmly tell the child your attitude. 2. If the child makes a move to withdraw, pull out. Do not give him to eat. 3. Biting will not be able to eat milk is a natural consequence, the mother does not have to deliberately punish the child. But there is no need to force the pain and give him the milk immediately. Finally, I remember when my daughter bit me at six months, I really found it hard to go on. But, on the flip side, think about how those moms who breastfed until they were over 2 weeks came through, they too may have suffered this treatment and always found a way to get over it. Now that I’ve breastfed my daughter for two and a half weeks, come to think of it, it was just a teething process.
