How do you breastfeed ??

Question

My baby has teeth at the bottom now . They both have broke through , however they hurt and he isn’t doing it on purpose he’s just feeding like before his teeth came but now that teeth are here my nipples hurt really bad . I won’t have any nipples by the time He turns 1 years old lol

Answer

I still see my lactation consultant for a Monday group - and she said you should never feel bottom teeth unless the latch is off because the tongue should be covering them. Maybe see one yourself and see if you are getting an incorrect latch, or maybe there is a tongue tie keeping baby from extending the tongue enough to cover?
We have both bottom teeth and I haven’t felt them at all yet, but I am nervous for the top 😬

Answer

My LO has had his bottom two teeth since 17 weeks😩most days they’re a non-issue but some days (probably days his mouth hurts from cutting more teeth) he will bite me or his latch in general just feels off. I’ve just been powering through and trying to unlatch when he bites and relatch in a few minutes🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

So far so good with mine (I say hoping to not jinx myself). Those bottom teeth are SHARP. He's bit my finger a few times while I massaged his gums. I'm so scared for my nipples but so far he is doing so well by using his tongue properly.

Answer

I never had this problem with my first. He even got his teeth rather quickly too. He did chomp down once. I screamed mostly because I was just surprised. He cried. Never happened again. 
Maybe worth a consultation with an LC.

Answer

You could try nipple shields if it’s really unbearable

Answer
