How does the dentist suggest the toddler SHOULD be fed to avoid pressure on the teeth?
I can only assume a liquid diet sucked on a straw (or by bottle?) in the side of his mouth?
That must be quite a challenge to teach a toddler to take anything in the side of his mouth.

Dear Lactneters,

Need your advice and experience. If a toddler falls and injurs her incisors to the point that they had to be realigned but did not fall out completely, can she still nurse? Dentist said they would have to wait and see if teeth would survive.  The DDS said to avoid pressure for 2 days. Would nursing cause pressure? Is there risk of further injury if she does nurse?
Thank you in advace. I know there's a pedi DDS out there or someone with experience with this. 
Love Lactnet!
Daniela
