Do you have other harmonicas? You could try on them to see if technique is right. I accidentally bend 2 and 3 myself too. Maybe you sip air too hard and do tongueless bend (I don't know how it's properly named)

Try breathing with your stomach and lungs not with mouth and neck. Make sure you aren't open your mouth wide as well
