Marcus is 5 months and has his first two teeth. They're pretty hard to see in this picture. But trust me they're there and they're sharp!! We're adjusting to nursing with teeth. It's not going well for either of us. Every time he bites me while nursing I let out a yelp. It HURTS! Sometimes he thinks it's funny and some times he cries. The lactation consultant has suggested hugging him to me to close off his air supply to his nose which would make him open his mouth. Pretty barbaric right? I'm telling you the first instinct when getting bitten in the nipple is not to pull the offender closer to it! We've tried it once and he just bit down harder. I'm going to keep yelping each time he does it and hope that he can start making a connection.
