DD is 13 months, and feeding is just getting more and more painful as time goes on. She has he 4 top incisors now, and is grazing me in every feed - her lip has never curled back as it should, but pre-teeth it didn't injure me!
I also now have a bleb on one side, which won't go, and am crying sometimes through feeds on that side.
DH isn't keen to pay for her to have it snipped, but has yet to dare suggesting I wean her. I've been reading 'breastfeeding answers made simple' and 'the womanly art of breastfeeding' but neither have solved the bleb issue. (Have tried bursting it several times, expressing from behind it, using wet heat on it - not tried lecithin supplements yet, but am considering it).
I don't want to wean her yet BTW, so please don't suggest it - she still derives a lot of comfort from feeding, and it's all that gets us through some nights!
Does anyone have any experience of nursing a toothed child with ULT and PTT, and thus any advice for me? Thanks :)
