True or False?
Once a baby has teeth, you can't breastfeed.

False :-)

When a baby is actively breastfeeding, their tongue should be over their bottom teeth, so they can't bite at the same time.

However, once they stop suckling some babies bite down, especially during teething when they may be exploring the new sensations in their mouth.

Have you heard that babies that are given formula sleep better at night? This is a common myth and generally not true. Some breastfed babies seem longer at night, some don't, and the same is true for formula fed babies.

In fact, it is biologically normal and protective for the baby to wake and feed often at night, especially when very young. You can read more about how baby sleep develops here:
