spitting food out and teething

[LimesMum]

Anyone had this with their LO?

It's confusing as don't think it's pain as biscuits and rice cakes are ok...

Yoghurt or fruit pouches are the only things she will eat. Even slightly thicker puree like sweet potato upsets her and gets spat out or dragged off her tongue with her hands.

Never been a fussy eater before.

She is definitely teething.

Just wondering how long this lasts and if any tips on how to overcome it?

Are the thicker things also the things that tend to be warm, where yougurt and fruit are cold?

Assuming she is 6 to 12 months I'd just give her things she likes, and up her milk for a few days if you need to.

With ours (a very big eater) he was hungry and grumpy, putting food into his nouth and then crying while eating, so we gave him some calpol 15min before dinner and he ate fine, only took a few days to get over the worse of it.

No it doesn't seem to matter if hot or cold unfortunately. So a sweet potato a date chickpea pouch no way but a broccoli and carrot one is fine!!

She is almost 14 months and doesn't take milk at all so can't really up that. So just give g yoghurt and baby Porridge - as in what they have when you first wean them!!!

I've tried the calpol before but that didn't work. It doesn't seem to be that she is in any pain it's just that she can't stand certain textures in her mouth! But as I said biscuits are ok....?!!

Thanks for advice tho

DS was fussy when he was teething but there wasn't always an obvious pattern to it such as him only wanting soft foods. I concluded that he probably just felt a bit rubbish so just wanted some familiar comforting foods rather than variety or less favoured foods or new foods. Which I can understand as that's how I feel when I'm ill. It always passed in time and he ate normally again.

I agree with just going with the flow for now, not pushing it if she doesn't want to eat something and giving more milk if she wants it.
