I need some suggestions to offer a mom that called me Friday.  She has an
8 mo old with 4 teeth that are distroying her nipples.  She is "very"
small breasted and has already tried repositioning ( and now has little
sores all around her nipples instead of in just one area) and using
lansinoh toheal.  It is not the teeth on the bottom causing the pain as
they are covered by the tongue. As she has been nursing for 8 mo with
little problem, I don't positioning is the problem here.  Limiting the
nursing so he doesn't "play" isn't the issue as the pain described as
rubbing is through out the nursing session.  She wishes to continue
nursing but would like some way to deal with pain / nipple damage.  I
suggested ice at beginning of feed because it seemed she tried everything
else I would have suggested and I was able to offer little else.  I told
her I would get back to her with more suggestions as soon as I found some.

Warmly, Ilene Fabisch, Brockton, MA
