Breastfeeding with teeth? 😬😓

Question

Ladies, I’m dreading this! My son has cut his first tooth. It’s just broken through the gums so doesn’t feel super sharp yet, but it’s coming!!! 
My son already bites and it HURTS and that was without any teeth. 
For those of you that BF with babies who have teeth, any tips??

Answer

They adjust after about a week. Or your nipple becomes desensitized, I cant tell. Either way it is only temporary. Put the boob away when babe bites. Eventually your little one will get it. I was about to quit when my LO cut his first one but it has gotten so much better. He now has 5 teeth and we are going strong.

Answer

Their tongue blocks the bottom teeth when they latch, my son is getting his third tooth currently (first one on top) so I’ll have to keep you posted 🥴

Answer

My baby has 6 teeth & sometimes forgets herself & bites my nipple. I can’t help but yell out ouch & jump & she finds it hillerious & A game 😂. Think i need to take the boob away next time she does it !

Answer

Not gunna lie, it hurts. I was reading that you should be firm in saying no when it happens as they are old enough to start picking it up. Mine doesn't bite much but has a few times and each time I say no she looks at me all wide eyed and stops like oh that was bad. She still does it but initially she didnt understand but now once I say it she stops so I'm hoping shell stop all together soon. 
I'm dreading when she has both top and bottom, I may just gi to strictly pumping at that point.
