Teething + BFing

@Rebecca I'd never heard of this. Thank you x
When teeth are cutting I sometimes find my nipples get itchy afterwards and I think it must be the excess saliva! But discomfort during feeds and teething, it’ll always be a latch issue! go back to basics and check that he’s latched properly. They shouldn’t be able to bite or scrape with those new teeth/sore gums if latched correctly x
I felt a bite for the first time yesterday and WOW it scared me 🤣😅. Plus my 8.5m old little boy has 7 (!!!) teeth so I’m starting to get anxious to feed in case he chomps down again 🤣🥴. No advice but following!
@Emily thank you. That's really good advice. It's triggering as we had a long painful journey to get to a good point with breastfeeding. It took us 3 months! X
@Naomi ouch! My son is 8.5 months too but he only has one so I can imagine how painful 7 are! We've got this 😭🤞🏼x
@Alexis bless you, I’m similar! I had to use nipple shields until he was 4 months old. Lucy Webber on Instagram has some really useful information and support x
@Emily I 🫡 you (and myself 🤣) for nkt giving up! Thanks re Lucy, I'll give her a follow x
