Baby Born With Teeth

A 26-year-old mother, Vicki Griffiths has declined bréastfeeding her new born baby after she discovered she was born with two fully formed front teeth.

It was when Vicki went to have a bath after giving birth that her husband Steven noticed the teeth in his daughter’s lower jaw. Vicki said, ‘When I came back into the room Steven said, “she’s got teeth, you know!” and then we both burst out laughing. ‘We were in shock, and so were the midwives.

The mother-of-three said she went to see her GP after she came out of hospital and “he said that he had never heard of this happening before. Midwives with 25-years’ experience were also saying they’d never seen it.”

According to Vicki, she had planned to breastfeed the baby but changed her mind when she saw the teeth.
