My first son, I breastfed until 10 months and he didn't get teeth until after that. My wee one now, he's getting teeth. Lots of the. Quickly. He broke the skin on my nipple and now every nursing on that side is an agony unto itself. Just bumping the boob by accident hurts. It's not red, it doesn't look infected, but BOY DOES IT HURT.
Thanks for your ears (eyes LoL) =D

Re: I'm not feeling so masterful right now
Sat, October 6, 2007 - 9:02 AMI responded to your post in bellydancing mamas, but I just feel like adding more sympathy here... I never had problems with biting, but I did go through some cracked-nipple hell with my first and I sure recall the wonderful feeling of just DREADING to let that nipple in their mouth.... /sigh. Fortunately nipples heal fast... -

Re: I'm not feeling so masterful right now
Sat, October 6, 2007 - 7:55 PMI had the lovely cracked nipples when he was a newborn. You know, thinking about it, Breastfeeding and I don't get along all that well. But it is soooooo worth all the pain and frustration.
I had some really bad bouts of mastitis with Riverson, had a good one with Cian early one. Had my first clogged milk duct week before last. Engorgement trying to figure out how to get Riv to latch on. But their faces are soooo adorable when they nurse. LOL -

Re: I'm not feeling so masterful right now
Mon, October 22, 2007 - 6:00 AMooo- tons of sympathy! I used a folded silk hanky to speed healing time- for plugged ducts & mastitis, try the Lana wool pads from Danish Woolen's website. I'm sure you're familiar with other treatment modalities, but those two never seem to get mentioned enough. -

Mon, November 26, 2007 - 5:50 PMI am using lansinoh this time and so far no cracked or bleeding nipples... You could try that..it is in grocery stores. I hear cabbage can help with mastitis..applied to the skin. -

Thu, February 21, 2008 - 4:32 AMWow, I'd never heard of that! I'll have to give it a look. We're on 7 teeth and still breastfeeding, but now that he's crawling he's getting a LOT more solids and he's snagging brother's sippy's every chance that he gets. =)
