DD is 11 mths and her top two front teeth are coming in, plus I suspect maybe some other top ones as gums look lumpy.
She has now been COMPLETELY off her food for a week. The only thing she'll eat is yogurt - I guess becuase it is smooth and cool and she always loves it anyway. Most other food she flatly refuses to try or will maybe put a bit in her mouth and then start screaming.
I've tried offering her more milk but she isn't that bothered. She doesn't seem particularly hungry despite going from 3 meal a day to just a couple of yogurts and milk. However, she is waking increasingly early in the morning (5.30AM last 3 days) wanting her milk.
In between meals she is lovely and completely herself, although harder to settle for naps and bed.
I just want some reassurance that so little food is really OK? How long do I carry on accepting she can't/won't eat? How the heck do I ever get her back to a vaguely balanced diet that isn't entirely made up of yoghut??? She was hard work weaning and quite picky about eating anyway, so now I feel like we are back to square one.
Sorry for long post.
