    I breastfed my daughter for about two years so yes she had teeth!! She was very good and never bit. I don't know of anyone whose child has bitten a lot during feeding, but it must happen to some people. I was told that the world health organisation recommends continuing breastfeeding for at least two years, but I would advise you to continue for as long as you can. After a year it was not as much and it gradually tailed off so I had no troubled nights with weaning and having a clingy child. Good luck!

    2+ years with my first and I'm nursing a 10 month old now and plan to continue as long as we are both able, not to pass 3 years. Both mine had theeth and it was never a problem.

    My first child only around eight weeks. I was really determined to do better with the second child, I fed him until he was almost a year.

    However, this was only one feed at night not constant feeding that I have seen some breastfeeding mothers do.

    He had got some teeth but I cannot remember how many.
