My 18wks baby boy learned an habit of biting my nipple with his gum for 3days now

Good afternoon Docs, my 18wks baby boy learned an habit of biting my nipple with his gum for 3days now, he will cry for food but when i breastfeed him he will suck for few minutes then start biting me. I noticed he always opens mouth when am eating if I take the food close to his mouth he would open his mouth, is it enough reason to try another food because we’re on EBF.

Your baby opening his mouth when you are eating is not a reason to introduce any other food.

Pls,do not introduce any food now,ensure you breastfeed exclusively till when your baby is six months
