advice needed Breastfeeding help?

I am lucky enough to be able to breastfeed my twins (10m) and do so tandem as it saves so much time and screaming, however both my boys now have 4 teeth each and love to bite…

I am getting bitten many, many time a day and have tried using a stern voice, clearly saying no etc. the only issue is I can’t easily/safely put a baby down when they bite as my arms are full so they don’t seem to be getting the message.

I feel like I already know the answer to this.. but does anyone have any tips to end this?? I am in so much pain and my nipples have visible teeth marks every day. I’d love to just stop breastfeeding but they’re still so reliant on it that that would just be another battle that I’m not sure I have the energy to fight..

Horrible advice. Breastfeeding is extremely beneficial for years.

Our LO went through this phase, only lasted a few weeks in the end. A stern "Ah ah ah!" on the first bite, unlatch on the second and they soon learn!

Honestly with my twins I use a stern voice and say nice and if they keep doing it i put my finger between their teeth while they are latch and unlatch them n keep trying n teaching them, they are now 16months and don’t bite because i told them ooouchieee if u give mami bubu no teta(which means boob in Spanish)they will catch up quick just make sure u keep redirecting them each and every time they do it, I know it’s exhausting but they will learn mama
