I snapped this last night after Audrey took a bath. Today, she has a tooth. Looks like its neighbor is coming in too. I'll admit, I'm a little sad. I'm also scared about nursing. Can you say "Ouch!"?
Ok so Faith got her first tooth at 5 months, so I can tell you about nursing a kid with teeth... plus I nursed her till she was 15 months, so she had most of her teeth before I stopped. Anyway, I was told this and it really worked for me with Faith. I was told when they start to bite down even a little to thump their cheek and say "no" (NOT HARD - I thought it sounded mean, but I never did it hard at all, like she would have not been able to feel it much at all, just enough for her to get distracted and hear no). She only did it like 3 times and never to the point of it hurting really bad. After that she never even tried to bite. I don't really know why it worked since you don't thump hard, but it did for me. Good luck!!!
Nursing with a kid with teeth is not too bad. Caleb had 16 and I am still nursing one time at night. If he does not get distracted we are good. But he has bit me more than Alyssa did. I second what Lori said. I thumped Alyssa and I think she bit me like two times. Caleb, well he is our strong willed child.
