Teeth at 5 months... how many?

Im pretty sure my DD is getting her third tooth through. She started teething just after 3 months and 6 weeks later her first bottom tooth arrived followed by the second last week. Im pretty sure a top one is starting to come through and shes 5 days shy of 5 months. My heart goes out to her...

Are the top teeth more painful than the bottom coming through as she doesnt even want to feel and turns away from my boob and throws her back back, im afraid shes going to go off milk as it hurts her to suckle so much... Shes also biting my nipple and it really hurts im scared what damage she might do with top and bottom teeth

Anyone else out there with an early teether?

Mine didnt get any until 10 months but one of the babies in our coffee group had 8 by then.... She got her first 2 at 3 months and they just kept coming, a couple per month...

Jake eventually learnt not to bite, but there were lots of boobie time outs! As soon as he bit he was taken off, firmly told "dont bite that hurts mummy" and sat on my knee facing away for a minute or so then would be offered again. If he bit again in the same feed then I would stop feeding and try again later BUT mine was older so on solids...

Try the Naturopharm Teethmed relief spray it works wonders.
I was the same as Squishysmum, I yelled the first time she bit, cause it hurt and she never did it again.

Brooke got her first teeth at 4.5 mths.  I say teeth because two arrived at once.  The rest have followed in very quick succession.  She is luckily a good little teether - not sure if it's the amber necklace or not.
