Samantha, 29, has just given birth to Ella-Rose Lines. But when she opened her mouth, the mother discovered two small teeth! Still drowsy because of the morphine she received, she didn't realize the rarity of the situation. Babies' first teeth appear at about six months, and little Ella-Rose is one of 0.04% of infants in the world!

But the mother is worried about how the teeth will affect breastfeeding. She says "Her teeth are small so I hope it does not hurt too much." Fortunately, she has bottles of her breast milk in case it is too painful for her to breastfeed the little girl.
The mother is already wondering whether she should or shouldn't brush her daughter's two little teeth, and apparently, there is little information out there on what to do in this very rare case! Learning to be a mum...it's a second job!
