OK, I'll be brave and post again!
This is purely personal experience
When my first son was teething at 5mo and started biting, I made icecubes of
EBM and gave them to him in a clean handkerchief to suck on. He liked the
taste better than plain ice cubes, and it did the same trick of soothing the
gums before a feed.
Boy,the feeling of those icey gums on my nipples tho!
