These Teeth!!!

These teeth are going to be the death of me! Not only is he producing copious amounts of drool, his sleep is completely out of whack, he is super fussy and in pain a lot of times and now? Now, he's biting. The boy is on the fast track to being a bottle-fed baby. Today was not a good day and he bit me while nursing at least 5 times. I know what I'm supposed to do to get him to stop, but now I'm nervous and tense the whole time I'm nursing, just waiting for him to nip.


Clara didn't get her first tooth until almost 10 months and I don't remember her ever biting, so this is new to me. I don't want to wean him this early, but by golly I'm not going to be his personal teether. I'm already his pacifier.

Bless your heart! I can sympathize with you...Mac and Lilly had teeth at 3 months old and it was brutal. Nothing I tried kept them from biting me. I stopped nursing them earlier than I wanted because of it. Wish I had some better advice for ya- hang in there is all I can say.

Sebastian was that way. His teeth came early and quickly and would bite often, cut me often too. Noah is the exact opposite. Thank goodness! I don't have any advise for it, just understanding. I just kept on and looked foward to 12 months.
