Teething so not eating, food advise please.

[~Faye~]

So Ellie is really struggling with her two top front teeth. She's in so much pain with them and just doesn't want to eat but she is hungry. I've been giving her soft things like sarnies, banana's pear's and harder things like rice cakes but she doesn't want anything. The only problem is I can hear her tummy rumbling There is only so much calpol I can give her and she is so bunged up with a cold from it she doesn't take much milk. What food could I give her that might help?

Don't you hate those teeth?  Would she take something cold?  When ds teeth (which is constantly), I found that he sometimes want something cold to relieve the pain.  Really cold purees or almost semi-frozen yogurt works with ds.  Can she drinks from a straw?  As different muscles are used than sucking, maybe that would help.
