Breastfeeding issue
My two-year-old son bites my nipple a lot while I am breastfeeding, and it's really painful. Is there anything I can do to stop it?
Do you have any suggestions on how I can protect myself from getting hurt while continuing to breastfeed?

Children at this age have teething. They bite whatever they have. You should cut down on breastfeeding the baby and shift to more of oral food. Besides, use nipple shield to cover it and then feed the baby. Gradually shift the baby 5o complete feed
