Refusing food

@Danielle I feel like I’ve been saying he’s teething for weeks but no new teeth appear 🫣
@Susannah 🙈 we already have 8 so shocked I'm back at this but for us it's usually a tell tale sign of teething
@Danielle 8!! Mine has 3 😳 maybe soon then, he’s been like this a good few days now
Yes, tried so many things and nothing is working
@Susannah can be up to a week before they erupt. My LO the other signs are usually he's a bit sicky, and more irratable in general xc
@Danielle oh he’s irritable right now! Refusing naps, yelling all the time to be picked up/put down. It’s been a tough week 😢 His other teeth came through with no issues which is so odd
@Susannah sounds like teeth coles the same :( I've been shouted and cried at for trying to feed him porridge so I've gave up and just giving him snack bits. Cool melon is what uve been using as it soothes his gums 😂 I had a little cry yesterday cause of how hard it's been. Been nice to log on here today knowing I'm not the only one
Exactly the same situation!! My LO hasn’t eaten any solid food at all this week. He’s just has his milk. I’ve still offered food 3 times a day but it’s a firm no. I can’t see any signs of more teeth coming so I am starting to worry but trying not to.
@Danielle I’ve had the same this morning with his ready brek, I ended up giving him more formula to make up for it 😢 I thought they get easier as they get older, but not so far 🤣 we’re all in the same boat!
@Susannah sometimes it's just so hard 🙈
@Susannah it's much more annoying cause he's not usually a chewy baby, absolutely loves his food. So when he doesn't eat I get so bloody stressed.
@Danielle yes same!! Sage has eaten so much yogurt the past few days because that’s all he wants for his tea 🤷🏼♀️
@Susannah I'm going with atm as long as he gets his reccomended formula the food is a bonus 😂 just so I don't send myself silly
@Danielle good plan! We’re down to around 400ml formula a day, are you the same?

Yep! He is a little under the weather and he may also be teething? (We too have 8 teeth 🥲) so I’m hoping it’ll pass soon. It is the most frustrating thing! I find porridge and natural yogurt are the only things he’ll eat. I squeeze half an orange into the yogurt to get some more vitamin C into him hoping it’ll speed up the recovery 😂
We're on 21oz a day
I was looking this up yesterday and apparently its really common at this age to start hating the spoon and wanting to feed themselves more, I have ordered some Doddl self feeding spoons to try
@CeeCee oh that’s interesting! The mess would be unreal if I let him loose with his wetter foods 🫣
@Susannah I know, same here which is why I havent so far but gonna have to start as otherwise she is just surviving on finger foods 😵 think I will aim to do thicker spoon food like thicker weetabix or very thick greek yoghurt first until she is able to manage pasta etc
@CeeCee I had the same thought and brought up with my HV that she's not eating anything and she did mention that this is the age where they want to feed themselves. Let them get messy and feed themselves. I haven't done it so far because of the mess but I think it's now worth a shot - hopefully it also means less fuss in the future 🙏
Yep is he teething though cause our boy is 🙈
