Please help. after 3 weeks of successful weaning, DD suddenly refused both meals today.

[messylittlemonkey]

DD2 is nearly 24 weeks and has been weaning for almost 3 weeks now. She has brunch and supper currently and we'd been going great guns.

She's been a bit under the weather the past couple of weeks with a cough but this didn't seem to impact on weaning. However, I took her th the GP today as I felt that the cough had gone on long enough. GP gave her the once over including looking at her throat using the wooden 'lolly stick' to hold her tongue down. DD didn't like this.

Anyway, when I came to give her brunch this morning she barely ate any and at suppertime became quite upset and refused solis then too.

Needless to say after such a good start, this has really got me worried. Don't know if she's feeling unwell (GP said she was okay, probably got a viral thing blah blah) or if the wooden stick in her mouth has left a lasting impression.

Any advice gratefully received!

I wouldn't worry too much. Mine always had days like this. She might be feeling more poorly, teething, anything. Try again tomorrow.

Some days they seem to eat their body weight in food, other days they seem to have forgotten what eating is! I wouldn't worry too much.

Teeth? Try dosing with neurofen 20 mins before a meal to see if it makes a difference?

If not, don't worry, some days DS will eat his own bodyweight in sausages and peanut butter sandwiches, other days he can survive on breakfast alone.

Thanks!

I've calmed down today. Think I was a bit stressed out yesterday. DD1 started primary school this morning which I think made me subconsciously anxious.

Will try DD2 again today - think the Nurofen idea is a good one. Could be teeth or just feeling a bit low generally.
