Teething Hurts Moms Too!
12 month old Olivia has ten teeth. TEN!
Along with her horrible habit of putting every single thing she touches in her mouth, (like dead flies,) she has another habit of BITING my shoulder.
It isn’t just gnawing on me with sore gums. No, my little angel CHOMPS down on me. HARD.
And if you think a little one year old couldn’t possibly do too much damage - here is some photographic evidence:
Yes - teething hurts Moms too!

I remember those days with my 2 1/2 yr old. My oldest never bit… but man, my 2 yr old was bad for it. And it hurt! Hope it gets better soon!!

Oh my!!!

My son does the same thing. Except he favors my neck instead of my shoulder. To break his bad biting habit I just tell him no and then I put him down. He’s a “momma’s boy” so when I put him down he gets upset. Those first teeth are sharp!

Ouch!! I remember those days. I call them growing pains:-(

That brings back memories. All of my children went through a biting stage around that age but my youngest was the worst. Luckily, they all grew out of it.

Oh man - my son did the SAME THING…he used to leave little bite-rings all over my shoulders…I think after a while he thought it was a sign of affection and it was hard to get him to stop even after the teeth came in.

OWWWW!! My youngest would bite my boob so hard it would draw blood. That’s when I decided it was time to wean! LOL

Wow!!! Ouch! Childbirth is just the beginning of the pain of motherhood, eh?

Luckily those days are long past for us but teethers were invaluable when some other part of my anatomy was unavailable.
Best wishes

Oh my gosh!!!! OUCH! I hope that doesn’t happen during nursing.

I know my 2 year old would do the same if I didn’t pull away fast enough. They certainly can be onry can’t they?
#17 - Kathy C. @ 10:06 pm
yeeeeouch! That looks painful.
#18 - tracey @ 10:16 pm
Oh MY!!! She actually got a chunk out of you, didn’t she?
#19 - Nathalie Brault @ 10:45 am
Ouch that seems to have hurt, poor you, I remember when my kids use to be teething but that was ages ago. Good luck is in order hihi!
#20 - Petula @ 2:15 pm
Y-ouch!
#21 - Ivan Girl @ 3:23 pm
ouch, that looked so painful!
my baby boy just turned 1 last week. sometimes, he would do that when he was breastfeeding but backed out when I reacted. He stopped doing that now so I didn’t decide yet to stopped breastfeeding.
#22 - Marissa @ 6:33 pm
My son does this too! He got his first two teeth at five months old, and by 12 months I lost count of how many teeth he had. And they’re SHARP ones too!
#23 - Janelle @ 10:48 pm
Yowzers, that is a doozy. My 7+ mo old has 5 teeth already. He’s pretty gentle though, thankfully.

We are having the same problem with our 10 month old. I feel your pain…literally!
