"Love Bites:Breastfeeding and Teeth" :wtf August 02, 2013 |

Instead of using a modicum of common sense and putting the udder down when the loaf gets teeth, the Cows offer up advice on how to do it with less risk of being bitten and a litany of excuses as to why they should continue tit feeding when the damned thing can chew steak, which is absurd! :bdid
Funny that in the same week that I received the comment “Oh you are still breastfeeding? But, umm, she has TEETH?†that I also received an email from a university friend asking for my take on dealing with teeth and breastfeeding. So, I guess, it’s a important topic. I have been told, on numerous occasions, that once BiP got teeth, breastfeeding, must, I mean, MUST come to an end. Ask why and I guarantee there is no viable answer. One thing is for certain; it changes things. The ONLY thing it should "change" is they need to take the teeth as a sign to PUT THE UDDER DOWN! Oh, and "BIP"?
When do babies get their first tooth? This is a spectrum – the average age is 6 months but it can range anywhere from 4 months to as late as 18 months. She's trying to rationalize that since the rare loaf sprouts a tooth at 4 months then it's okay to continue to suckle it, when it's common sense a first tooth erupting from the loaf's gaping maw is NOT the issue here. We are talking about TEETH, plural, and often times a fucking mouth full!
Won’t breastfeeding a baby with teeth hurt? Yes, it can. It probably will hurt but no baby intends to bite you (well, not usually, BiP sometimes bites if I doing something outlandish like talk to someone whilst she is nursing)! What a STUPID question and if they have to ask it it is DEFINITELY time to put away the udder and bring out the Hungry Man dinners.:dindin
How do I deal with teeth, biting and breastfeeding? PUT THE TIT DOWN, that's how!
The key thing to remember is that NO baby intends to hurt their mother and cut short their breastfeeding journey – I say journey because it really is one! In reality not all babies bite, it’s just that many do! I'd dare say ANY being with teeth will bite and whether it's intentional is beside the point. These stupid cows will go to any lengths possible to make it sound reasonable they want to continue with the udder feedings.
So here are my tips to prevent biting:
Make sure your baby’s mouth is open wide enough – Once BiP got teeth I realised that she never opened her mouth wide enough in the first place so teeth got in the way. That doesn't even make any sense, but little Moos say does.
Usually when babies are teething it’s around the same time that they are aware of their surroundings so it might be a good idea to nurse somewhere quiet. Distracted babies can bite. Yeah, and most toddlers with teeth are generally distracted AND bite, regardless of their quiet surroundings.
If you baby is teething give a teething toy before a nursing session or let them chew a teething necklace.
Make sure you baby wants to feed before offering the breast to minimise biting (this might sound awful but I found that I usually got bitten when BiP wasn’t really in the mood to nurse).Remember: A nursing baby CANNOT feed and bite at the same time! And NEITHER can it bite if it's eating with a fork or spoon like it NEEDS to be doing. A "teething necklace" chew toy as an incentive to not bite? I don't even know what to say! If it can use a chew toy, why in the world would they let it continue suckling their udders?:headbrick
What do I do if my baby bites me? PUT THE UDDER DOWN and give it some food.
Most say to ignore it but if the bite is anything like I’ve experienced that is next to impossible. I'd say SO it's impossible to ignore a kid chomping down on your tit!
I’ve found that taking BiP off the breast and explaining that biting means that we won’t be able to continue is usually very effective (BiP at 6m would cry her eyes out during this explanation and then nurse correctly).Sometimes, you’ll need to move somewhere quieter to concentrate on your baby (BiP would bite if I was talking to someone or playing with my phone). A good rule of thumb for stopping the titty feeding is IF the kid can be reasoned with or carry on conversations, your tit feeding days are over.
Abandoning that nursing session for a while is also a solution especially during transitions between dropping feeds. Since I don't know what, "dropping feeds" means, I can't really say, although I am IN FAVOR of anything to do with abandoning udder feeding if it bites
At the end of the day it is important to remember that no baby, that I have ever heard of, has bitten a mother’s nipple off – although it may feel like it is possible! I know with BiP I have held my breath and looked down to be shocked that my nipple was still attached!!! This is, by far, one of THE most asinine pieces of shit I have ever read! If she has to hold her breath and look down in hopes she still has an attached nipple, then STOP tit feeding for the love of Christ! :smn
Yes, it can hurt. Yes, you can end up with cuts. Dig out that lanolin and air dry when you can. It is not uncommon, and usually painless, to have teeth marks on your breast post feed once you have the biting under control. I promise it’s a short lived stage and there is NO reason to wean your baby just because they have teeth. It is NOT normal and certainly not painless to have BITE MARKS on your breast after loaf feeding! It is THE reason to wean if the damned thing is making mince meat out of your tits!

even mommy cats know that when it hurts; the kittens must wean themselves.
Don't most mammals act in this manner? I had always assumed that when an animal developed teeth that its mother automatically began the weaning process. I don't understand why a moo would want to subject itself to recurrent painful beefing sessions if the damn pile of jello can eat solid fucking food already!
I take that last statement back. I guarantee it's because these idiots just want some idiotic idea of bragging rights to share in the mooomy world. I can just hear it now... "I beefed my lump of vagina secretion until it went away to college, for I am the greatest moooo who ever lived!!"

I think this video from the comedy show Little Brittain is prophetic:
