Red cheeks

I’ve noticed for the past 4 days my LO (7 months) has had bright red burning cheeks in the evening. Out of nowhere. She’s breastfed but I’ve had no changes in diet. I’m not sure if it’s a build up allergy or top teeth cutting through

Mine too I was thinking it’s teething?

Could be teething. Check her gums and you may be able to feel the teeth underneath. My LO is 7 months old also and I can feel the bottom and top teeth. She is also tugging when breastfeeding. Hope yours doesn't do that, it's painful.

@Tay mine bites me and she knows it😂 looks at me and smiles then does it again

@Eva I don’t know!! Her cheeks are literally burning but I don’t see any signs of top teeth ( she has bottom 2) Her gums aren’t swollen. It’s been 5th evening in a row when they go so red. Why only evening idk 😂 I’m so lost. I’m scared if it’s allergy then to what? Ugh. When everything has been the same for months

@anna so does mine 😂 that cheeky smile and then again.

@Tay 😂 idk how to make her stop! Sometimes I don’t expect it, it hurts so my reaction is to push her away. But I don’t wanna hurt or scare her. Idk how to correctly gesture to her to not do it

@Anna I usually remove her and tell her no you can't do that. If she does it again I put the boob away and tell her no. She seems to understand that sometimes as then when I offer it again she doesn't do it. Not always though.

If you think it could be a reaction remove all allergens for the day from her meals. See what happens.

@Tay I tried that but she keeps smiling and laughing. Feeds normally next time then does it again giving me the cheeky smile like hey mum, look what I’m doing 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 i laugh along when I shouldn’t but i can’t help it. Them eyes staring at you smiling… ugh 💞

@Tay is yours sleeping through the night yet? I’m exhausted… she wakes up 3 times ish looking for boob, feeds for a few min then back to sleep refuses dummy until I give her boob

@Anna not yet she wakes atleast once after I've gone to bed.
