Rapid flow of milk

If you have a strong let-down reflex, you may find that your milk gushes out at the beginning of a feed. This can sometimes be a little overwhelming for your baby, who may cough and splutter because he cannot cope with the speed at which the milk is being delivered. This problem can usually be overcome by expressing a little milk at the commencement of each feed before putting your baby to the breast. This can be continued for a few days until your milk supply is regulated.

Babies who bite

Being bitten by your baby while breastfeeding can be a very unpleasant experience. Often a baby will bite for the first time while it is teething, due to sore gums. If your baby does bite you, take him off the breast immediately and firmly say 'no'. If he gives you a repeat performance when you put him back to the breast, take him off and say 'no' again. Leave him off the breast for a while. In this way he will learn that this behaviour is not acceptable to you.
