Hi there my ds has been eating three meals a day up until 3 days ago...he has two bottom teeth and awaiting top teeth. He has been off his food for the last three days and his poos have returned to their breast milk only colour from before we started on solids 3 months ago. He has a few spots on his face which has been associated with teething before and seems generally ok apart from drool and more sensitive and clingy. Im just worried beccause of his drop in food intake. Has anyone else experienced this. not sure if weaning is the right topic for me to post this. any advice would be great.

Sounds like my LO about 3 weeks ago. Didn't even want milk, for 4 days!! Then two teeth popped through.
It's taken a while to get him back into eating though.

I'm no expert but my DS is almost 10 months now (gone so fast) and has just had the most terrible chesty cold that lasted for nearly a month & of course he's teething too, so we had a horrid whingey, grizzly non eating time for what felt like weeks but I think he went completely off solids for about a week in total. I am still brestfeeding so bless 'em they went into overdrive & I thanked my lucky stars yet again that I stuck with it! He's now been well for about 3 weeks and his intake is fantastic - just takes a little time to re-adjust.
Don't worry, letsbe honest you cant force them to eat anyway so try to stay cool & remember it's just a faze!
Good luck x

He's a little too old to be teething. Confused

too old to be teething??? Thanx everyone for your responses. situation is unchanged although he has lots of wet and dirty nappies. teething hits them hard eh xx
