BF - nipple biting
My son has his second tooth coming through and the last two days he’s been biting while feeding, he made me bleed this morning.
I really don’t want to stop breastfeeding what is the best thing to do to get him to stop?

@Marianne yes mostly I try to give him a teether or wet cloth but he hasn’t stopped yet 😭
Asked heal baby care app and sharing in case it helps: "It sounds like you're going through a tough time with your son's teething and biting. First, try to gently but firmly say "no" when he bites, and immediately remove him from the breast for a moment. This helps him understand that biting leads to the end of feeding. Additionally, you can offer him a teething toy before feeding to help soothe his gums, which may reduce the urge to bite. How old is your son, and have you noticed any specific triggers that lead to biting during feeding?"
@Heaven I’ve tried both but he’s still biting 😅 no triggers that I know of

It'll probably just be a teething thing- is it at the end of the feed? The advice I've seen is to stop feeding and giving something else to chew on. That's what I do and it seems to have mostly stopped it becoming a thing.
