My 17 week old LO has turned into a different child over the last week or so. She's been dribbling a lot and putting her hand in her mouth for a few weeks but she's now gone off her feed. Some feeds she'll take 6 oz, others she'll only take 2oz, whereas before she was polishing off 6-8oz every bottle. She's also wanting fed at different intervals, sometimes just after a couple of hours, up until now it's been roughly every 4 hours. The last 2 or 3 days though she's started arching her back when I'm trying to feed her. She's also started getting very grumpy and crying a lot, something I'm not used to as she has always been a happy, cheery little girl who rarely cried. I've tried Dentinox and Bonjela, I even tried Calpol last night but nothing seems to work. I can't give her teething granules as they have lactose in and she has a milk allergy.
Has anyone else had these problems with teething? I'm starting to worry something else is bothering her. Fortunately I'm seeing her paediatrician on Wednesday regarding her milk allergy so will speak to him then.
