New Tooth and Painful Latch!  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Well, we got the first new tooth at almost 5 months. Problem is he is screaming during our nursing sessions and pulling off in such a way that he is only taking the TIP of the nip into his mouth--this is quite painful!

I don't want teething to interfer with our EBF plans. I am NOT a pumper so this may well be a big issue! He is doing great - Almost 18lbs and 27.5 inches so he is still doing great at feeding, but I am so concerned about this latch issue and if this discomfort will get overwhelming!

when dd got her teeth i think it was 3-4 days until i could nurse without pain. it should get better when the tooth comes in more. good luck! i hope it gets better for you!
