Breastfeeding mums of teething babies

Following 🙈

There is a bonjela that you can give from 3/4 months (can't remember which)

If baby bit me then I'd take them off, take a break from feeding then put them back on. Found she only did it a couple of times before realising

If I was bitten, baby was taken off and then reattached. She learnt very quickly if she bit down the boobie went away!

Anbesol really helps teething babies the best!

Your nipples shouldn’t be hurting and bites happen when they aren’t latched fully but they struggle with their latch when they’re teething as their mouth feels funny! Go back to basics and check latch.

Also, apply lanolin to yourself to help any pain your are feeling!xxx

I agree with the if biting i always yelped and said no took her off and now she never bites me and were 14 months in the pain peaks slightly when a new tooth comes in as she needs to learn to not bite down too hard as the new tooth gets in the way, but the trick is on and off i find and they will just know that its not nice to mummy and feeding stops if they do it,
I also used anbesol the gel and we use the liquid if shes really bad but a little bit goes a long way,
I also found that if i gave her something cold to chew on about 10/15 mins before a feed was due she didnt bite as hard on the first latch,
Best of luck!

Keep using lanolin cream on your nipple! It phases out being tough so dont worry

Do you have nipple shields???

ok I’ll look for it because the one I have says 6 months

Owh Lord I’ve tried it but he grips it with his gums

I used to push my finger into her mouth between her gums to break the latch and offer her something to bite on instead! They are strong!!

I use lanolin & his latch has always been shallow . Mainly nipple but it didn’t hurt until recently . Ima buy Ambensol I’ve tried everything else loool

going to try this thank you

yes but I put it on today and he sucked it off and didn’t want my boob until I gave him my nipple 😂😂

Give a sharp NO and put that titty away gal

😂😂😂😂
