1-year-old baby biting during nursing?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
Biting during nursing is quite common around 1 year. Usually, the baby isn't trying to hurt—they're trying to relieve teething pain, exploring their new teeth, or expressing frustration when milk flow slows.
A clear response is important: when they bite, say "no" and gently end the nursing session for a few minutes. Dramatic reactions or sudden startle may scare your baby or make it into a game and worsen the behavior. During normal feedings, lots of skin-to-skin contact and verbal praise reinforce good behavior.
Chilling teething rings in the fridge for a few minutes before nursing can ease gum discomfort. If biting lasts weeks or causes painful wounds on your nipple, a lactation consultant can help.
