Teeth, and all the issues that come with them, seem to pop up alongside breastfeeding concerns throughout the breastfeeding journey.
It's hard not to worry when these are things you hear day-to-day:
"You'll be ready to wean once they have teeth!"
"You need to stop breastfeeding at night or you will rot their teeth"
"They have teeth now, they are supposed to be eating REAL food!"
In this episode I'll dip into the science, and provide some practical support for:
- Breastfeeding a baby with teeth
- Breastfeeding a teething toddler
- Handling biting
- Oral development
- Cavities & breastfeeding toddlers
