BF and top teeth

BaklerBakler
in Breastfeeding
DD is getting her top teeth right now. One has cut through already and the other one is close. I can feel it rubbing on me when she is nursing and my nipple can feel a little bit worn when she is finished. I'm nervous that as the tooth grows it will become more painful for me to nurse. Does anyone have tips on how to work with this new tooth coming in?

    They will rub, you just need to try to minimize the rubbing by positioning DC correctly. Here's a good link.  It might hurt for a little while DC is relearning how to latch with those new teeth.  Don't worry - DS has 8 teeth, 4 of them on top fully grown and it doesn't hurt.  Here is a good link -

    Go to the section..."Not really biting, but scraping teeth or indentations."
