Is this teething?

My daughter is 20 weeks old and seems to have been showing signs of teething for some time now - chewing on everything, dribbling lots, rosy red dry cheeks - but over the past couple of days she's been refusing to finish her bottles - taking only 1/2 to 3/4 of her normal size feeds.

Is this because she has sore gums do you think?
Also she had a temperature of 38.2 last night before bed (went down to normal with calpol). Is this to do with teething or is she poorly?

It does sound very much like teething to me.

So what do I do? Keep trying to give her extra small feeds?

She had just gone down to 4 feeds a day, but have added dream feed back in because don't trust she'll sleep through on 4oz!

I don't think she gets particularly hungry between feeds in the day - she's generally a bit grizzly but had put this down to the gums.

Speaking of dream feed - better go do it.
Back soon.

Same as usual for this feed - difficult to wake and only took 2.5oz (that's why we dropped it). So I reckon she's not really hungry.
