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!

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

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

  3. 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.

  6. Oh MY!!! She actually got a chunk out of you, didn’t she?

  7. yeeeeouch! That looks painful. 🙁

    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? 😉

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

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

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

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

    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.

  15. susieshomemade says:

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

  16. 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!

  17. 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!!

  18. really?! 12mth old has ten teeth?! my Baby Moon only had 2 when 1 yr old.
    And may I know you all believe teething cause fever? Chinese believe this a lot..=) 

  19. Wow that was quite the bite!!!! I remember having bruises cause of our daughter biting be cause of teething but it never got that bad!
    Hope it will be over soon

    Oh my gosh, I can’t even believe that!

  21. I know the feeling, but yours has teeth! BIG ouch! I wish I had taken a picture of the big purple bruise Jayden put on my arm!

    Ouch! I’ve been known to run away from my baby when she gets in one of those stages!
