Feeding + new molars = ruddy sore!

DS is a year and has just cut at least 2 molars (I can't get a good enough look to see if the top ones are there too).
BFing has become really painful since the teeth arrived. Usually we both get used to new teeth quite quickly, but this has been nearly a week now and it still hurts! Can anyone let us know if this is likely to ease up soon, or should we be beginning to think about easing up on the breast milk? (Not what either of us want, but it does hurt!)

I found that we had to relearn the latch and go back to basics each time a major tooth came through, if you have suffered quite a bit of nipple trauma, then it will take a while to heal.

Going back to basics paid off for us as I am still Bf DD at nearly 22 months :)

I hope you feel better soon.
