It's called TEETHING not TOOTHING
We don't have a tooth coming in, we've got teeth
Rosie is springing teeth faster than you can say cheese. I've been so focused on watching the top teeth come in, I didn't even notice there are two new ones on the bottom. Unfortunately I am unable to take a picture due to Rosie's very protective nature, so I have drawn a replica of her mouth. Not to scale of course:

Now, you will notice that the top left upper incisor is just a nubbin. Therefore:
Current tooth count is 5 ½.
Five and a half! Just last week she only had TWO! White nubbins are appearing on the top where the next two incisors will be, so I know it won’t be long.
Let’s talk breastfeeding if you don’t mind. Can I feel the teeth? Yes. Do I fear for my safety? Yes. Do I watch her mouth every second as if there is a piranha attached to my boob waiting to strike? Yes. But, no significant bites. In fact, the last time she bit me and it hurt was before she even had teeth so I’ve been lucky.
You can see she’s affected a bit by all this activity in her mouth – who wouldn’t be? Four teeth coming in at once can not be comfortable. She’s trying to stay positive, but she’s a bit tense. She’s struggling to eat – not much is getting in. Solids, I mean. She’s compensating by nursing more (twice in the night last night – ugh).
Let’s hope the teeth come in fast and we can have our baby back!
