heidiJon just had his second well-baby visit.
And we realised that I give birth to two month old babys.
He's now 9lbs 6oz and 21 and 3/4 inches (and I have to redo his carseat as he's outgrown the "newborn" setting).
And... the scariest thing is...
He's teething!!!!!!!!!
Yes, he is 2 weeks old (technically, 44 weeks post-conception, which is sort of relevant for teeth) and his teeth are about to sprout through his gums - sometime within the next 10 days or so.
Meh.
Am, as many of you know, NURSING, and I don't intend to stop but...
How do you nurse a one-month-old who could hurt when he bites?
Any advice? Help? PLEASE?

Date: 2003-06-16 10:13 am (UTC)On the nursing front, as many of the others have already said, baby learns fairly quickly that biting = withdrawal of milk supply. I fed both of mine to about 1 year old, and they both learned quickly.
9lb 6oz is a good weight (my eldest was 9lb 7oz at birth). May both you and baby Jon continue to thrive!
