teething and not drinking

[juliec26]

hi - my ds is 17 weeks and showing signs of teething he is very snotty, chewing and dribbling and had a few bad nappies - The last 2 days he has become even harder than usual to feed only taking 4oz each feed (usually 6-7oz) - I have just managed to give him 3oz took an hour though - should I give him some calpol will it make him feed better if he feels better?

Thanks x

If he has bad nappies/snot maybe you should take him to doctors just in case he is also sick? My ds started teething at 3.5m and is now 10m and has finally busted out first 3 teeth all in the space of one week - he's had a lot of Calpol on the way!
