Challenges in Breastfeeding – Teething

My youngest baby started teething a day after he turns 8 months old. I was so fearful that he will bite me more often coz he loves biting since he was 4 months old. I thank God that he did not bite until yesterday when he has 2 brand new and sharp bottom teeth.

It was so painful that I gave out a loud “Ouch!” I know that this time I must be stern with him. Previous bites, I scolded him but I was not stern enough that he just smile and continue biting!

I raised my voice plus a very angry look and sternly told him that he cannot bite me coz it is painful and to let go. From the way he looked at me, I know he got a shock and confused. I repeated my “Cannot bite mommy!” line a few times and he cried! Then I quickly hug and sayang him. He pushed away and look at my face a few times to be sure that I am no longer angry at him and he smiled.

I hope he is a fast learner and will not repeat his little experiment again.
