Grumpy, teething toddler

[Bunny2021]

Any tips for dealing with our insanely grumpy, teething toddler? We’ve just been able to force some calpol in but he’s refusing food - but needs it as you can tell his sugar levels are low and he’s super emotional.

I wouldn't try and force them to eat. Just offer things you know they'll like and milk. Both of mine have survived times like this when they're eating very little. They soon make up for it when they're feeling better

I’m right there with you. Sometimes we can get a mini cornetto type ice cream in him. Not nutritious or ideal, but I’m guessing cools the gums a bit and st least distracts. If we get out for a walk or something he tends to perk up. It’s the worst!

Thanks both for your advice/kind words!
