This morning at 4 am, I was surprised by Tinkleberry’s first front tooth, as it SLICED OPEN MY NIPPLE when I tried to nurse him.
I pit small pointy teeth. Especially suprise ones. Especially when they attack my nipples. :mad:
OW! Is that one of those Joys of Motherhood that everyone always talks about?
I just want you to know I said “ARRRGGGHHH” out loud and covered my breasts when I saw the title of this thread.
You have my sympathy. I nursed three boys who were early teethers. ::shudder::
Nothing like a high pitched shriek in the dark hours of the night…that comes from the mom, not the baby.
Pretty much. 
I’m now debating whether covering it with braces wax might help.
Do you know how hard it is to type with one hand protecting my breasts??
Ouch! Is he old enough to be weaned?
He’s 4 months, 1 week. We may go to exclusive pumping soon.
To be quite honest, once I’d screamed a few times and jerked them away from the boob, they got the picture. Biting Down = Removal of Boob. Kids learn fast.
The best advice I’ve ever gotten was from my OB/GYN who demonstrated the method for removing a fang-baby from a nipple (or finger, plug of flesh). Pinch the septum? (flap of meat in the middle) of their little nostrils and pull firmly, but slowly upward. They’ll turn loose because the tugging on the nose is uncomfortable.
Works better than waiting for lightning on a snapping turtle. 
Nah, don’t go to pumping exclusively yet. They learn really quick that biting is bad. Otherwise no one would nurse past the teething stage. 
I must admit that as I read this OP, I couldn’t help but remember the thread about his circumcision. Right now, I’m giving your baby a little mental high five.
Well, he hasn’t repeated the biting, but the sucker is still wicked sharp! And even his tender sucking hurts like hell.
This reminds me of something that happened to one of my friends - she was in the shower, shaving her legs. She finished, straightened up and shook the razor by flicking her wrist a few times. On the last “shake”, the razor sliced off a bit of her right nipple.
:eek: :eek: :eek:
AAAHH!!! Oh sweet Jesus, my boobs just inverted upon reading that-right now, I have to C-cup-sized holes where my breasts used to be.
Oh, dear sweet Og, I now know why men cringe in pain upon hearing about other men getting nailed in the 'nads.
sympathy whimper
No form of the word ‘razor’ should ever be used in the same sentence as the word ‘nipple’.
I’m and guy, and I’ve been there, done that, (well, not the shaving my legs part )
I shave in the shower, and I wasn’t watching what I was doing, and went to put the razor down and “SLICE”, there went the tip of my right nipple.
Hurt like hell, thankfully the bleeding stopped quickly, but the cut was sore the rest of the day.

Yes indeed, and ever since she told me that I’ve been very wary of my innocuous-looking little Venus razor…
He has tasted his first blood; you may have to increase your daily garlic uptake !!
Arrrrgh! involuntary clutching of boobs
ow ow ow ow ow.
Back when I had far much less up top than I do now, I frequently went bra-less.
Opening a fuse box to turn on studio lights and having the corner of the metal door slice across your Lovely…that’s a new kind of hurt.
When my kidlets started biting, I started them on cereal. Mushed up bananas and cereal go down real good.
I’m not looking forward to teeth. My little one is already hurting me with his gums. Who knew a three week old could have such strong jaw muscles.
Ichi…?
