DD is 19 weeks old and the last 24 hours have been awful. She's teething... has been for weeks, and feeding her has become steadily more and more of a trial. But now she is just screaming and thrashing as soon as the bottle comes near her. She'd only take 3-5oz at most yesterday before having a complete meltdown (compared to the usual easy 7ox), early this morning she took only 2-3oz and the last few attempt, she won't take a thing.
Don't know what to do! She's a good weight so I'm not worried about that too much but surely she'll become dehyrated? Naps are also a struggle because, I'm guessing, she's hungry (last nap she basically cried herself to sleep).
I've tried two brands of teething gels, two brands of teething powders, calpol, rubbing her gums... nothing seems to make any difference.
She is hungry - I know she is because she seems eager at first and then just howls within seconds of the bottle being in her mouth, and sometimes as soon as she sees the bottle in my hand.
Please... I'm at a loss. Do I ride this out? For how long?
