Has your baby started pinching, scratching, or even biting while breastfeeding? 🤱😬 While it can be uncomfortable, these behaviors are actually common and can happen for several reasons.

Older babies may pinch or scratch as they explore and develop fine motor skills, while biting may happen during teething. Babies may also do these things to adjust milk flow, soothe themselves, or simply because they’re getting full or losing interest in feeding.

There are simple things you can try, from giving your baby something to hold to offering a chilled teething ring before nursing or adjusting their breastfeeding position. Learn more here. 👇

August is Children’s Eye Health and Safety Month.
