Hi,
My 9 month old DD has been on nursing strike for a few days now (see other post) starting with a viral sore throat and fever. I have been feeding her in her sleep since saturday, but often in her slee her latch feels weaker than usual (I am feeling no discomfort at all though, so latch can't be that bad?)Yesterday I noticed a large white ulcer on the underside of the tip of her tongue. Could this be caused by her two bottom teeth rubbing on her tongue? She only has those two teeth. Am worried that by sleep-feeding I might have caused this to happen by allowing a less than perfect latch, but I can't find anything at all online at all to link mouth ulcers with breastfeeding/latch or teething. Other possibility is that she bit her tongue or that it's a result of the virus she's getting over, but it's so perfectly positioned over her teeth it seems too much of a coincidence.
Has anyone experienced anything similar
Thanks
