Hi,whats the cause of my 3 months girl keeps pulling my nipples while feeding? Is she having enough?

After latching for few minutes (at times when starting to latch), she would pull (using her mouth) especially on my right nipple (having a sore pain since day 1 she latched). She keeps turning her face after that and eventually cries. 😳

Normal. It's called gumming. Probably your baby is teething or could also be your milk flow is slow/fast. My LO is 5 mths & also gumming due to slow flow after my letdown. Painful and I always told him firmly but in a soft tone not to bite and I'm in pain. Works really well for him 😅

Our body definitely have enough milk for our baby so don't worry about that. My baby still pull when my milk flow is slow and then he will bite really hard, most times I screamed cos in shock 😂 Sometimes I apply nipple cream when my nipples are really sore but normally lazy to put on anything.
