Owwwwwww..... DS2 is using my nipples as teethers!! He has two bottom teeth and bites!!! I stopped feedin DS1 wen he hed reached this stage but he got teeth at a later stage and took bottles aswell. DS2 wil NOT take a bottle... at all!! Not even with my milk in it.
I have just brought him a cup and will see if I have more luck with one of them.

Champs, how long had he been doing this? I found that dd did it for an (agonising) couple of weeks when it was a novelty but then stopped. I ended up feeding her until she was 1 and she had loads of teeth by then but never bit again.
