Teething and not eating

My son was the exact same! If baby is interested in milk more then I’d still offer however many meals a day baby has but give more milk if they’re eating less this is what I did anyway. My son stopped eating all BLW food and purées for 2 weeks so I just upped the milk intake but still offered the same food incase one day he changed his mind. Until they were a little bit more through he wouldn’t eat as it was too sore for him too. Don’t worry! Food under 1 isn’t a necessity as it’s more for sensory and feeling different textures, baby will get all nutrients from the milk still! I worried so much but you just have to remind yourself that milk is their main food🫶🏼🫶🏼

@Tiana she's on 3 meals plus milk for sleep. But she's not interested in milk either which is my worry. She'll feed for maybe 3 mins at a time if at all

How old is your daughter if you don’t mind me asking?xx

Hi, my baby is doing the same thing at the moment, not eating more than 3-4 spoons. He is mainly bf but formula at times, I have also noticed his bfeed timing is reduced to half He did not eat well for 3-4 days ,had slight temp aswell but from today he is eating slightly better, hope he continues He is not taking his teethers but is enjoying the cucumber slice

@Tiana she's 9 months (born 27th April)

@Nisha she doesn't mind a cucumber stick but is mostly throwing them at the sog at the moment. We tried her with pasta and cheese for dinner. She's a sucker for cheese. But she refused the lot. I managed to get half a yogurt and half a dose of calpol in her before bed. I'm convinced it's teeth pain but it's killing me not being able to help her in anyway

My daughter is currently getting more teeth in. She’s gone off a lot of foods. She’ll still eat the yogurts and raspberries & sometimes a banana biscuit as she can chew on that to help her teeth, but other then that I try give her anything else she’ll just try push it away.

@Libby thank you makes me feel better. At the moment my little girl is spitting out anything that touches the tongue. It really doesn't make things easy. She's also been extra cuddly today and it's taken 3.5 hours to get her to bed tonight

My little went the same when her teeth where cutting and I genuinely didn’t even realise she had two coming (bottom) and thought she’d just lost interest in food I just offered her bits and bobs through the day and more milk if she wanted it x
