Teething and weight loss :(

ashcart01

LO is just now getting teeth. She has two on the top and two on bottom coming in all at once. She has been refusing solids for a week, she averages three blow out diapers a day and she crys for tylenol and orajel. We've taken her to the doctor twice and she has lost almost two pounds. 

Advice? Tricks? Help?

TIA

Are you bottle feeding, or BFing?  If she is willing to take bottles, get some of the Y-cut nipples and add a little baby cereal into it to get some extra calories in there. 

Will she take purees on a spoon, or is she resisting

Oh, also, someone on my BMB recommended using Advil/Motrin instead of Tylenol, because they are anti-inflammatory and you can rub a little bit directly on the gums instead of using orajel.  It's the only thing that has worked for my DD.

She hasn't had finger foods yet. She is resisting purees on a spoon. She is bottle fed, but is still eating her bottles. I eventually put rice cereal in them and she ate them okay.

Your baby should be plenty old enough for finger foods.... When my DD is teething, I give her cold cucumbers to eat - she loves them and they soothe her gums at the same time. Also cold bananas are a hit. You could also try frozen peaches in one of those
