Teething Hurts Moms Too!

October 11, 2008 by Janice

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!

    Yowzers, that is a doozy. My 7+ mo old has 5 teeth already. He’s pretty gentle though, thankfully.

    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!

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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!
