So, Kate has been extremely fussy the past week and I can't figuare out why..then one day I was breastfeeding her and she bit me and I felt a tooth! She's only 3 months old! Mia didn't start teething untill she was atleast 6 months old, if that. Has anyone else had their baby teeth this early? I feel like shes just too tiny to be getting teeth now!

Thanks in advance!

The earliest I've heard of a first tooth coming in from someone I know is 4mon, but I guess it's possible! Yeah, there have even been a few babies who were born with a tooth!

Are you sure it was a tooth, though? Did you look and feel with your finger? It could have just been her pinching you with her "gums".

My uncle was born with a tooth!

My daughter got a tooth at six months (the youngest of my girls ) and that was when I quit breastfeeding. I tried, and tried, and tried.....but she was a VERY good biter!!

yeah, it was deffinately a tooth! i stuck my finger in her mouth to feel it and she bit down on my finger! it hurrrrttt! I really don't want to stop breastfeeding, i breastfed Mia till she was almost a year and I would like to do the same with Kate!

Some baby are actually born with a tooth already. I have an aunt who told me that her daughter starting teeth around 3-4 months old..
Just breast feed as much as you can. I quit after a month. I just couldn't do it, I hated it. My dr said the first month is pretty important but after that formula works just as well.

Good for you, Teenmum, for wanting to keep on nursing! *Usually* you can just keep on going after a couple firm "No's" and they still want their milk. They realize that teeth aren't for biting mommy when no food is involved. I think it's actually a sweet teasing game for them, like you tickling them or playing peekaboo. They get a reaction from you and think it's hilarious. Maybe just immediately switch sides or stop for a couple minutes and hopefully she'll want to go back to drinking her milk. ? I nursed three (12mon, 9mon, 12mon) and don't remember them biting being a big deal. I think they all did it once or twice, but it wasn't a problem. Good luck!
