No Eating While Teething!
« on: October 21, 2010, 17:31:24 pm »
Argh, that even rhymes, lol! ::)

So my son who is almost 14months, is teething badly! :-/
He has 8 teeth coming out at the same time, yet only one has broken through just the other day. This has result in lots of issues and one of them is eating. He just refuses to eat... and in a day he ll eat a yogurth and some fruit.. maybe a slice of bred in daycare and a bite or two for dinner. He does not want his bottle in the evening and falls asleep with what i would call an empty stomach.
Of course somwhere between midnight and 5am he ll wake up hungry... and of course, I have been giving him the bottle which he finishes within 2 min. and goes back to sleep most of the time...

At what point do i start to worry and what can i do differently?

Thanks for any feed back!

On days when DS wouldn't really eat (not often but did happen) we reverted to things he loved as a baby - Ella's Kitchen brocolli pear and peas sachets mainly!! I found one day he would only like breadsticks etc and other really solid food, and the next day/meal he would only eat pureed food (we just had both on hand just incase .... it is just a passing phase, and a few days, etc of not eating really well will be fine long term).  Try to look at the food intake over a whole week, rather than a day ... and lots of hugs, it's a frustrating time :(

Thank you.... those sound like good tips. I am trying some of that for Maxmilian too, but its not nearly enough to keep him from getting hungry at night. I just saw yesterday that he has a bruise inside his mouth on the gumms which look terribly painful and is causing all this stress. I really dont like teething at all....

Teething is horrible but it usually only last a few days at a time - I love your profile pic, what a cutie!!!  At the time teething seems to last forever but each tooth only has to come in once!!

Thanks again!!:-) he is super cute if i can say it myself too;-) and he is so much fun at one! I just dont like the pain from the teething... which as you say really feel like forever for us... whenever i read how one tooth takes 2-3 days to come out i cant belive it. Maxmilian can teeth for weeks before one starts breaking through....
I can not wait to put this behind us and finally start sleeping through... im exhausted, 4 -5weeks of constant interrupted sleep, at the most i get 3 hours straight... but usually its about every 2 hours through out the night... i feel horrible!

Thanks again XOXO

Aww - lots of hugs.  It does seem to be never-ending.  DS is teething yet again too but luckily this time it isn't bothering him as it's a molar that is right at the back.
