Did you know this about biting?

Did you know that it is not possible for an actively nursing baby to bite?

Because baby's tongue is placed forward in the mouth, over the lower gum ridge, while latched on, it is not possible to bite when actively nursing.

Biting at the breast generally occurs at the end of a nursing session when the nipple moves forward in the baby's mouth. One of the best ways to counteract the biting is to pull the baby into the breast, causing him to release his jaws.
