Wonder week 26 - appetite affected too?

[LindsayS79]

Hi all

I have a very cranky 6.5 month DD at the mo. Constantly moaning and generally being hard blooming work! I noticed a mention that week 26 is a difficult time...

However does anyone know if their appetite can be affected by this leap? She's not drinking as much formula, which is not like her at all. I've been putting it down to teething but could it be this wonder week?

I would say probably teeth at that age too. Have you tried giving a bit of calpol? Or baby Nurofen? It won't do any harm to try and dose and if your LO cheers up then they were probably in pain somewhere (mostly likely with teeth).

Thanks very much. I actually took her to the GP today as she refused her whole bottle this morning...
She thought that her eczema is really bothering her so has, like you, suggested calpol and after a few days if that doesn't work, antihistamine to relieve the itching.
I'm with you though, I definitely think it may be teething now. I caught her chewing the teat this afternoon. I just wasn't sure if a teething episode could last over a week..
