Baby Nipping at Breast
« on: December 12, 2005, 07:21:02 am »
Can anyone help with tips on stopping my very impatient 11 day old to stop nipping at my breast before I can achieve proper latch on. Once she's on correctly, bf goes along fine, however we experience much frustration together until she latches on right!.
Thanks in advance for any help. :?

I think you just have to take the breast away when she nips.  She will eventually learn to just keep her mouth open until you can but the breast in her mouth properly.
