Breast feeding and teething

[Sarah13]

Do you think babies feed more when teething? Its all Kynon wants to do just now, he had cut back a lot in the day as well but I think he might be getting his first tooth and wondered if this is why he's nursing more

I have no idea I'm afraid Jacks the complete opposite, hes decided that he doesn't want to breastfeed during the day but gets me up all through the night Hes got 2 teeth already and I don't remember him feeding lots when they came through but I suppose it could be if hes not feeling 100% then breastfeeding is nice and comforting x

Im not sure hun- I thought they tended to feed less coz the sucking hurts their gums?? But then nursing is a comfort thing too so mayb he is doing it coz of teeth? x

Well he cut his first tooth today so I guess there was a link with him feeding more and teething!
