BFeeding and teeth

My daughter is exclusively breastfed. She now has 2 bottom teeth and the last couple days she has been killing my nipples! It feels like she's chomping down sometimes, other times it feels like she's just gnawing at them. I think she's teething again too. Any suggestions for helping sore nipples? When I'm at work I pump, but am home for winter break right now and want to feed on demand, so I want to stay away from pumping right now if possible.

  • Have you use the nipple cream!? There's an organic version without lanolin too. It says it helps with cracked nipples! Good luck mama!!

  • My LO bites sometimes with her two bottom teeth.  Before she nurses, I stick my finger in her mouth to see if she wants to nurse (if she sucks my finger) or if she wants to gnaw.  

    If she bites, I firmly say "no" and pull away.  I wait a little while and if she still wants to nurse, I'll let her try again.

    Best of luck!
  • This is the worst!!! I feel your pain mama :/
