Until the last couple of weeks DD has been a fab eater, loved her food, her high hair, meal times and would eat absolutely anything I gave her, typically she would have a weetabix and some fruit for breakie, sandwiches, a yoghurt and some tomato, cucumber, rice cakes, cheese for lunch and a proper dinner, chicken casserole, Shepard pie etc for dinner followed by a pudding, such as rice pudding.
She got her first tooth a few weeks ago, this didn't seen to bother her at all, or effect her food however in the last 2 weeks she has 2 more teeth on the way and I am not sure if it is coincidence or not but she is completely off her food and not too bothered about her milk... In fact, she has even started to cry when she goes in her high chair...
She is living off petit filous and pear at the moment, it's the only thing she will eat! She is not even trying things now, she is protesting and out right refusing (shaking head, clamping mouth shut) before it even gets to her mouth..I thought this could be down to pain in her mouth and wanting something soft to eat so I have been pandering to her a bit, this lunchtime however she had rice cakes and cucumber, but refused her cheesy pasta bake outright ...
Could it be possible she knows that if she refuses her nice hot meals she will get petit filous and pear or am I being unfair, is it normal for teething babies to come become food fussy all of a sudden?
Concerned as she's not taking enough milk either, approx 12oz a day which is short if the recommended amount of 20. Going to see HV tomorrow to get her weighed, she's clearly not having a balanced enough diet to keep her healthy.
Any food related advise would be appreciated
