Y'all!? My boy is only 3 months and his first tooth is literally almost in😱😱 how is breastfeeding with teeth for Y'all? Tips? Tricks? Did you switch to just pumping? Edit: This is just my storage bottle 🤣🤣 he gets 2-3.5oz now

Question

Answer

That’s a big bottle! 
Breastfeeding with teeth was fine! There was only like a week where she bit but I pulled her off the second she bit. She learned that biting meant no more boob. Then it was smooth sailing. 
I highly recommend pushing through. Exclusively pumping is the hardest feeding method.

Answer

I’ve breastfed two babies and currently breastfeeding my third. I never had any issues when they got teeth. I think my first bit me one time and she never did again. I just unlatched her and told her it hurt. Mine got teeth early too. My oldest was 4 months, by a year old she had all of her teeth minus her molars. My second was 6 months and had a whole mouth by 12 months too. My second never bit me that I can remember. If they do start biting then unlatch them and let them know it’s hurts you. Hopefully they don’t do it again.

Answer

When they bite it hurts, but they stop after a while it’s while getting used to having teeth and eases their pain. My daughter was 5 months when she got her bottom 2, stopped biting after a bit, she’s almost 10 months and I think she’s teething again as she’s pulling her ears constantly also started biting again and pulling her head back with her teeth clamped down on my nipple 😩

Answer

My daughter had her first two teeth at 4.5 months. She’s 18m with a full set of teeth and still nursing. It’s fine! She bit me a few times and yes, it hurts, but she learned quickly not to do it. If you smoosh their face into your boob, they have to open their mouths to release your nipple and breathe, and it’s pretty unpleasant for them so they stop quickly.

Answer

Breastfeeding with teeth never bothered or hurt me unless baby was teething. When baby was teething, she would chomp her way through every feed and it was extremely painful. I wanted to quit and did increase how often I pumped and gave her bottled milk. However, that only lasts a few days and then baby's done teething and it doesn't hurt to breastfeed.

Answer

As long as baby has a good deep latch nursing should never hurt even with teeth. There can be instances of biting but all you do is say no that hurts. 
Also that bottle is huge. Way too much milk. 1-1.25oz per hour is all that is needed and not exceeding 4oz a feeding the entire time receiving breastmilk. So if baby is eating every 3hrs it would be 3-3.5oz. That’s it.
