DD is 17 months and appears to be cutting her eye teeth at the moment. Poor child is really in pain. She has managed to cut all her other teeth including molars without much discomfort, but, these eye teeth are a whole different issue.

I have heard that this can happen, that the eye teeth are more painful than other teeth cutting but I am amazed at how bad this is for her. DD is still BF twice a day (which usually increases a bit when she is teething) but at the moment she keeps asking for a BF and then refusing it when I offer. She is getting really distraught, it seems to be painful to put anything including a breast in her mouth .

I guess I just want to know if anyone else has experienced this? I assume that her refusal of the breast is related to teething but have in the back of my mind that it could be something else. She even refused it this morning 1/2 hr after I had given her pain relief...
