Raif has been having a hard time giving up his bottle. Bailey gave it up at 15 months, Raif will be two at the end of Ocotber, and has no desire. Well, this morning as we were watching Yo Gabba Gabba in my bed, Raif was having a great time and then showed me his winning prize. He completely chewed off the nipple of his bottle.
It made me wonder, how do women still breastfeed when their child has teeth on top and bottom? I, as most of you who know me, know, that I did not breastfeed either of my children. Gasp....I know. Whatever! It is not a discussion I get in with anyone. Period. Not even my husband. It was my choice and I knew it wasn't for me. Period. End of discussion.
But, anyways, back to my post. Wouldn't this hurt! Bailey was never a chewer. Raif obviously is. I was cracking up as he showed me, with pride, what he had accomplished. Little did he know he would not get a bottle for the rest of the day. Ha, ha, ha! If you can chew it, you don't need it. I did crack tonight. We can't solve everything in one day. Hopefully we are on our way to no bottles. I really just want to get rid of them. One less thing to throw in the dishwasher.

I actually know someone who's child did this to her with the exception of a thread of skin! She basically had to have her nipple sutured back on! Her daughter was 11 months at the time so, needless to say, she stopped nursing that day. =)
