I kept wondering what was wrong with me. The pain isn't always in the same area either. I was starting to think my teeth were rotten or something. LOL. Breastfeeding my second DS has been full of all sorts of pains, etc. that I never had while BF my first DS.

I had cut out most of the dairy I consume because I thought DS had colic. So I didn't eat much dairy for a few weeks. I still take a prenatal, but that doesn't have enough calcium in it. I started adding more dairy back into my diet about a week ago - so today I haven't had any tooth pain. Yay!
