Malka, you wrote to Lactnet:
<<A mother called me (from across an ocean) about her ten and a half
month old
daughter who has worn a hole in each of the mother's nipples by rubbing
her top
front teeth into the breast when breastfeeding. She says that the cuts
are deep
and nursing is very painful.>>
I am clearly very behind in reading Lactnet, I hope this is not
redundant. My daughter pressed her top front (baby) teeth uncomfortably
into my skin and I had her tilt her head ever-so-slightly backwards to
nurse. Worked like a charm. I did have to remind her often, but this was
not a problem for me as the comfort-factor was worth it! I hope this
helps.
