Should I continue to breastfeed?

[dorries_tan]

Hi mommies! I need some advice from you all. My baby is going to be 10 mo soon. His upper and bottom front tooth came out, as I latch him on I start to feel the pain. What should I do?

//oh yes I don't express out milk from my breast as I'm having a hard time expressing it.

Hi,

I hope you are still breastfeeding

First you need to make sure his latch is correct. You shouldn't feel too much teeth unless he is comfort nursing/doing shallow sucking.

If everything ok, and he's biting unintentionally or for fun, then time to teach some discipline What I did with my daughter was this. I would watch her very carefully, just when she was about to bite, I would quickly insert my little finger into the corner of her mouth and unlatch her. After that immediately tell her, FIRMLY, no biting mummy (I would shake my finger at her too). I did that a few times and she got the idea.
