teething- cant suck bottle?

Hi girls, havent been on in so long! My 4 month old twins are teething DD used to be a fantastic feeder, bottle down no prob. Then with the teething all of a sidden its like sucking the bottle is hurting her.. Anyone experience this?? any idea what to do?:

Try putting some teetha on the gums 10 mins before a feed, will help relieve the pain for long enough to have the bottle

+1 to teeth a suggestion. Other thing is perhaps it's not teeth related - my DD acted like she was in agony taking bottle at this stage but it was frustration that milk wasn't coming out quickly enough so I changed teat size and she was grand. But she used to suck and throw herself off the bottle screaming before the change so initially I thought teething, wind, colic....

But do try giving something on the gums before bottle, be no harm.

Yeah, I'd try the next size teat first and at that maybe give a couple of days to get used to the new flow. They can get very frustrated if it's not coming out fast enough for them. If that's not working it could well be teeth and Calgel or some such a few minutes before a feed is helpful.
