Teeth that arrive before your baby is born are called Natal Teeth.
Natal teeth are relatively uncommon, appearing in about one in every 2,000 to 3,000 births.
Natal teeth generally develop on the lower gum where the central incisors will be. They have little root structure and are attached to the margin of the gum by soft tissue and are often wobbly.
Natal teeth are usually not well formed but they are firm enough that, because of their placement, they may cause irritation and trauma to the infant's tongue while he is nursing. Natal teeth may also be uncomfortable for a nursing mother.
My LO sometimes bites down really hard when breastfeeding & I swear I can feel something hard like a tooth!
just wondering, was anyone's little bubba born with teeth?
