So Dd is 11 months and she only just cut her 1st tooth a couple of days ago. For the last couple of weeks since she started teething her latch has deteriorated to the point I am starting to wonder if she is forgetting how to do it. She doesn't open her mouth properly, even if I can make her do it she doesn't take it in her mouth properly and sucks funny. It's not overly painful ( tender but not toe curling pain) but it is incredibly ineffective. She's taking 5-6 minutes to get a let down each time and even after let down gets angry at the breast pretty quickly. I don't know what to do to improve it. I realise her gums are sore but because she is teething so late, it looks like she'll be getting a number of other teeth very soon so I don't see this ending soon. Any ideas in how to fix a big babies latch especially seeing as its obviously hurting her.
