DS not really eating - could it be onset of teething?

DS is due a bunch more teeth. Typically a good eater he's become more fussy recently (as he turned 17 months) and says no to a lot, even stuff he loved.

He's a bit clingier and grumpier than usual but nothing too heavy - I sort of remember him going off food before his last teething bout but bit foggy.

Does that happen - or do I just have a fussy eater on my hands all of a sudden?

Could be either I'm afraid!
Teething symptoms sound about right though.
Good luck either way.

My DS is 13 months, and just last week was rather drooly and off his food to some degree. I had put it down to teething, but just by chance noticed he had a mouth ulcer under his tounge!!! The poor wee dude must have been in pain.

Might be worth lying him down and having a look in his mouth. Just to see if there is anything else going on.

Just dont push the food on him. I think thats where a lot of fussy eating habits develop. Look at what he is eating over a week before you start to worry about how much he's eating.
