To tide you over

Proof of teeth














I told you. Not the cutest picture of either of us but I just had to show you all. That was Saturday. As of yesterday they are out a little bit more & she is now testing them out on the snack bar (a.k.a. the boobs). I have been afraid of this happening for a while now & I've heard so many people say that once the teeth are in, that's it, they are done with the breastfeeding. So far it's not so bad. She's clamped down towards the end of a feeding a few times now so I've been keeping my hand close & ready to pry her off if need be. I've had to stop her about 5 or 6 times now & last night I said "ouch" & pulled her off so she got upset & cried for a few moments but then happily latched back on. Now I know these two teeth are not fully out & she's got a hell of a lot more to come but I figure if I can handle three freaking months of thrush & the Raynaud's syndrome then I can handle a few nips at the old nips.

That is unless she starts chomping on me with these.




Hey mommy....












I vant to suck your blood!

I'm lucky Brynn 1st tooth didn't start to appear until she was 16.5 months. Where did you find that soother? Gotta get me one of those. And that chair, is that one from when we were little?

You guys both look cute.

Love, Maggie

You're a brave woman :-) Based on how challenging breastfeeding has been minus the thrush, I don't know how you kept going. Teeth just frighten me!

Hey Mags. The chair is indeed the ones you guys used. I'm afraid it probably isn't as safe as the new ones but I'm being cheap & it's cute & I figure you three never got hurt so as long as I keep a close watch things'll be fine.

Hi Connie! I think I am a sucker for punishment that's all. Challenge... definitely. I hope things are going okay with Xander. The breastfeeding eventually gets better, trust me. But if it doesn't, try not to stress too much about that either (way easier said than done - which is probably why I'm still going).

How do you not bite those cheeks every day? Unless you do, in which case, good on you.

Snacking on cheeks is definitely permitted around here. It's weird - she's actually pretty small but most people assume she's a chubby baby just because of those chipmunk cheeks. It's like she's hiding nuts in there or something.
