Both girls bit when teething. Both of them outgrew it after a while (knock wood, Wonder baby hasn't bitten me in about a month and has popped three teeth in that time) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-teeth#post-438772 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 01:07:39 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 438772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: sienna got her 2 bottom teeth in a span of 3 days and from that moment the first one popped out shed been biting at the end of the nursing session. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-teeth#post-438084 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:08:23 +0000 SAHM0811 438084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Keep at it... I did the same thing as you... It took a few weeks, but she learned not to bite. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-teeth#post-438080 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:07:55 +0000 T.H.O.U. 438080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: Yes, I can tell when she is done and is starting to "nibble". Luckily I have only gotten bit bad once. Other than that just little pinches. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-teeth#post-438078 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:07:07 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 438078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Willa has two teeth and has yet to chomp. I am interested to see when (if) she starts. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-teeth#post-438072 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 15:05:47 +0000 mrsjazz 438072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jackieomy: My baby laughs when I say "No" or "No biting mommy!" </p> <p>I always make sure she's latched on properly and I pay attention to her cues for when she is done. I didn't pay attention recently and ended up with a bloody nipple! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-teeth#post-437942 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:29:04 +0000 jackieomy 437942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son doesn't have teeth yet, but he has a strong latch and has been doing a vigorous dismount. He laughs when I do the stern "no," so the lactation consultant also suggests avoiding eye contact for a minute or so and ending the nursing session. I'm not looking forward to teeth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-teeth#post-437890 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 14:17:00 +0000 sarac 437890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine rarely actually bites me, and never terribly. Some babies just do, and I think a good NO! can help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/breastfeeding-and-teeth#post-437448 Fri, 07 Dec 2012 11:37:03 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 437448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One thing I was always afraid of was what would happen when my baby got teeth and I was breastfeeding, would he just chomp away and I'd have no more nipple? </p> <p>Luckily, Mavrick weaned himself before teeth so it wasnt an issue, but now I find myself still EBF Sienna, and well in the past two weeks - two new teeth. </p> <p>She's nibbled on my nipple and I say an authorative "NO!" and she gets surprised and latches off, but any tips on how to avoid my nipples being bitten off. </p>
