Technically, if a baby is nursing properly, he/she is unable to bite the mother at the same time. This is because the tongue will be covering the bottom teeth/gum. That being said, a baby may still bite or would attempt to, especially when he/she is teething. To prevent getting bitten from your baby, you can try offering your baby a teething toy or something cold for him/her to bite on. You can also offer this before a feeding session to prevent him/her from biting at the start of the session.
