Noa’s teeth are coming through fast. About a month ago, his two bottom teeth came through. Now in the past two days he’s gotten both top front teeth, and one of the canine teeth is nearly there too. And he’s started biting me! Not so pleasant, but very funny. I scream “OUCH” when he bites me – and he either bursts out laughing or bursts straight into tears! I was aiming to breast feed for 6 months, and we are now at nearly 8 months. Some people seem surprised that I am still breastfeeding. But honestly, I think there are so many pros to breastfeeding that I think they outweigh the biting problem.

Breastfeeding cons: Biting. Biting, biting, biting. Oh, and boobs that will never quite be the same.

Breastfeeding pros: Most importantly, it’s the best thing for Noa. It’s a bonding experience for both of us. It’s good for this Mommy’s metabolism. No sterilising bottles. No mixing formula in the middle of the night. It’s easy. I just whip out the boobies!

Taking all that into consideration, I think I’ll keep it up for as long as I can. I’ll just grimace through the biting.
