But it hasn't stopped us yet... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-763104 Mon, 06 May 2013 10:15:20 +0000 ladyfingers 763104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I will never understand why people are so eager to see babies discontinue breastfeeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-762174 Sun, 05 May 2013 18:32:21 +0000 sera_87 762174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went through about 2-3 weeks of "omg I think I'm done this biting thing SUCKS". Thankfully it passed &amp; now we're at 5 teeth &amp; going strong. :)</p> <p>It was the worst when he was cutting his two front top teeth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-762158 Sun, 05 May 2013 18:12:57 +0000 Mrs. Superhero 762158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've nursed both my kids past a year. They bit before they had teeth, they bit while teething, and then they outgrew it. I had that comment from some people too :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-762155 Sun, 05 May 2013 18:06:38 +0000 mediagirl 762155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom asked if I had been bitten but I was happy to tell her I hadn't. :-) I don't know why people make your breastfeeding journey their business. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-762146 Sun, 05 May 2013 17:44:55 +0000 red_seattle 762146@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A family member of mine stopped when her kids got teeth. But with X, he got his first tooth at 4 months. No way was I going to stop then. We had some issues with biting, but I yelled "OUCH!" whenever he bit me hard, and gave him a baby time out (20 seconds on the ground with me totally ignoring him). It curbed the biting really fast and we made it to 12.5 months-- by then he had ALL of his teeth except the 2 year molars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-762145 Sun, 05 May 2013 17:43:42 +0000 lovehoneybee 762145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ha my MIL totally quit breastfeeding one BIL because he bit her too hard when he got his first tooth.</p> <p>We've made it through 9 months and 8 teeth so far. I have been bitten...more than once, and more than once I almost quit. I'm determined to make it through to a year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-762140 Sun, 05 May 2013 17:39:40 +0000 Ra 762140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think it's a ridiculous question, although maybe a little rude to be so presumptive. My plan is to stop breastfeeding when he gets teeth. I don't think that makes me "nuts." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-762112 Sun, 05 May 2013 17:10:29 +0000 Weagle 762112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has 6 teeth at 1 year, and we're still going strong. She has only bitten me a few times, but it was before she had any. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-762109 Sun, 05 May 2013 17:07:03 +0000 googly-eyes 762109@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep thinking if I had continued I'd be so lucky, LO is toothless at over 7.5 months!! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-762046 Sun, 05 May 2013 15:28:38 +0000 cascademom 762046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Recently, LO has bit me hard at 8 months old. I made it through 4 teeth before throwing in the towel on bf. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-762042 Sun, 05 May 2013 15:20:10 +0000 Kemma 762042@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wonder if people realise that babies can be born with teeth?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-761819 Sun, 05 May 2013 10:40:17 +0000 shopaholic 761819@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, before I had a baby, I always thought that would be my limit for BFing, and I probably was just like the people who have asked you that. It totally weirded me out before I had K. So I can understand where that's coming from. Even now, I just hope that K will be a late-teether! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-761804 Sun, 05 May 2013 10:25:34 +0000 mrsmenow 761804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my second she just couldn't get the idea of not diting once she had teeth so I went to EPing. I think it completely depends on the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-761803 Sun, 05 May 2013 10:24:06 +0000 mamimami 761803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never had any problems with biting. It happens but I don't think it's the "rule" but rather the exception. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-761796 Sun, 05 May 2013 10:19:13 +0000 kml636 761796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People are nuts... They started asking me if I was "still" bfing when she was 1 month! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-761706 Sun, 05 May 2013 08:04:19 +0000 IcebergMom 761706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hasn't stopped us! 17 teeth and 21 months. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teeth-and-breastfeeding#post-761661 Sun, 05 May 2013 07:24:24 +0000 DillonLion 761661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>More than one person has said to me "Oh, she has a tooth now...gues you are going to stop breastfeeding now, right?"</p> <p>No....no plans to stop here. She's only 5 months old. </p>
