I'm hoping we still have a couple if months before I even see a tooth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-and-nursing#post-940358 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 23:22:02 +0000 Kemma 940358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: my wee girl has a change in latch every time she works on new teeth, I figure it's her adjusting to the changes in her mouth and thankfully it only lasts a couple of days. Just this last week she had a day where she bit me each time I latched her on - not cool baby, not cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-and-nursing#post-940311 Wed, 17 Jul 2013 22:40:36 +0000 shopaholic 940311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well, she is back to having longer nursing sessions about 1/2 the time. She does get distracted easily these days, but it doesn't seem to be a direct cause of shorter nursing sessions. </p> <p>@oliviaoblivia: She does have a different, weird latch sometimes, so I do think it's teething related. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-and-nursing#post-932416 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:14:18 +0000 oliviaoblivia 932416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We haven't had trouble with short sessions or distracted nursing, but her latch does change while teething and I have a bit of nipple soreness for a couple days on either side of a new tooth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-and-nursing#post-932343 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 13:01:47 +0000 ALV91711 932343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have been going through this the last couple days. A lot of it seems to be distractions, but he isn't eating more frequently and the diaper output is still good. </p> <p>I hope it doesn't last too long. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-and-nursing#post-932312 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 12:53:16 +0000 Smurfette 932312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>R is nursing for shorted periods too. But is still eating every 3 hours. She is drooling a ton, and constantly wants to eat her hands, but the pediatrician didn't think she was teething yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-and-nursing#post-932249 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 12:35:29 +0000 Adira 932249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Xander's been nursing for shorter periods than he used to too. I'm not sure if it's teething or distraction or just becoming more efficient! He still goes 3 hours between eating, regardless of how length of time on the boob, so I'm assuming he's still eating enough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-and-nursing#post-932213 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 12:27:30 +0000 hilsy85 932213@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO did this alll the time from months 4-7...for him it was just major distraction. I started doing breast compressions while nursing to keep him interested, and started nursing before naps, when he was tired, to make sure he got enough milk in for the day. I don't think it was related to teething for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teething-and-nursing#post-932200 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 12:25:01 +0000 shopaholic 932200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the past few days, K's nursing sessions have been very short (like 4-7 min.) and she's kind of been lazy at sucking? If that makes sense? She is definitely teething, though hasn't seemed to be in pain yet. I know babies go on "nursing strikes" during teething, but she's not refusing. She just seems to kind of hang out on the boob after a few minutes and stops really drinking. This morning, she really only actively nursed for 2 -3 min. I know I shouldn't be too worried as long as she's still having wet &amp; dirty diapers, but wondering if your LO did this, how long does it last? What do you do during a nursing strike? </p>
