10 months, teeth and PAIN!!

DS is sporting 5 teeth, and feeding has become very painful. Not from intentional biting, just that his teeth are really rubbing and digging in when he feeds.

What can I do?

DD is 11 months and sometimes her latch is awful and her teeth really rub. I find its mostly when she is tired/ feeding at night so is not really with it. Its especially annoying at night because it means I can't doze while I feed her.
I just take her off and start again. I never had this problem with her brother but then he bit me more so not sure which is worse!

That's true, it is often worse when he's snoozing. But that's most of his feeds, since when he's awake he's not bothered about feeding. Or he feeds for about 30 seconds. Better stuff to do apparently :o
Not sure if his latch has changed particularly, it's just theres now a load of razor-sharp gnashers in the way

I found this happens worse during teething and I would apply lansinoh again and it would pass within a week. And be really careful about positioning again. Like having a newborn.

I wonder if I still have some Lansinoh somewhere, that's a good idea.
I don't really position him as such any more, not sure he'd let me? He just grabs a mouthful himself?
