DD, 11mts, has EBF (until solids introduced at 6 months). No problems at all until recently with top teeth. With first one she wouldn't/couldn't feed for a few days. We got over that but now with the third top tooth it's really painful for me - she seems to be feeding quite happily and isn't biting but it's really sore - fairly sure it's where her teeth are resting on/rubbing my nipple. On one boob I've got small cuts on the nipple. Boobs are also getting quite tender and sore generally. Has been painful for a good 10 days and no improvement. Changed position (to rugby ball) which helped for a while but now that hurts too and the left is starting to get sore as well. Taking her off and relatching really doesn't seem to do anything. Have used lanisoha (sp?) cream and followed advice from Kelly mom etc but no real improvement. Seen GP today and got all clear for thrush, mastitis etc
So. Does anyone have any other ideas? I'm worried it's just going to hurt more especially if I get more cuts/broken skin
And has anyone worked through this? I'm worried it's going to cause us to stop before we want to. Plus we don't really have an alternative as she's never taken a bottle and isn't good with milk from a cup.
Many thanks
