my 11month old and meal times!!!!!! ��

[Hollymilli14]

My 11mnth old dd was poorly 2weeks ago and stopped eating completely (took milk though) she is now back to her normal self and was eating fine again (she eats absolutely anything)
The last 3days she has been taking her porridge and yoghurts fine but when it comes to her lunch/tea she will take it in her mouth then literally spit it out across the kitchen ??
I've always home cooked everything fresh for her which she loves so nothing has changed. And today I got so worried she wasn't getting enough vitamins etc the only way she would take it was by giving her a yoghurt with some of her fresh fish pie on ?? (oh no)
Still she sucked off the yoghurt and spat the lumps out (devil) ??
Though she did eat majority of it this way!
Now she has been her usual self but keeps rolling her tongue (constantly) so wondering could it be that she is teething (currently has one bottom tooth) I'm going to see the health visitor Thursday but just wanted to know if any other parents have had this with food? I'm so worried as I don't want her not eating! Shes a very good well rounded baby (HV words) and very healthy and always has been so this has just kind of confused me. My sister told me to not mix it with her pudding as she will get used to it and keep pursuing with it and she will just 'get used to it again'
Any help would be much appreciated ??

I would imagine that it is teething related. Try a numbing gel before food, and offer things that are a little easier/softer to eat. I definitely wouldn't mix sweet and savoury, I would just offer normal food in the normal way.

Sometimes hard finger food can help with teething pain, cold cucumber is often good for that.

I wouldn't mix sweet and savoury either sorry
do you give her toddler milk or just cows milk? If your using the toddler milk don't worry about nutrition all the important stuff is in there anyway . It could be teething I gave my dd a sachet of teething crsytals before meals when hers were bad

She has the teething crystals they are really good and she also does like to chew on cold cucumber and carrot sticks. I did think after I gave her the yogurt/food that I was making a rod for my own back ?? (silly me) she is on cows milk now but has the multi vitamin drops.
I do think its teething, though she wasn't like this cutting her first tooth.
I will keep trying...

Thank you...

The teething gels will contain lidocaine which will numb the gums. Teething crystals/powders just provide a nice texture and a sugar rush, which will have a temporary effect, but won't help with actual teething pain during a meal.
