No sleeping no eating...all from teething?!

MrsSmith0812 · September 2013

I can't believe this, but DD cut two teeth at once...the top ones, and now her sleep is very erratic, and she's upset all the time. Fussy when awake, screaming every hour when asleep, and this is with Advil round the clock! She also won't eat. I've tried all different kinds of foods, and she spits them out or takes a couple of bites and that's it. I'm a bit worried since she isn't breastfed. I don't think she's dropped weight yet, but she's already a peanut for her age (1 on Thursday and about 18lbs). Thanks!

My LO got both bottom at the same time. The days before he cut his tooth he wouldn't drink his bottles. Once the tooth cut through he was back to normal. I probably would call the doctor to see what they think only because I would expect LO to feel better once the tooth cuts through not worse. GL sorry I wasn't too much help

Ditto what PPs said. DS becomes a super picky eater when his teeth are about to come. He'll throw everything off his tray and eat very little. I try to offer him foods he loves during those times. Don't worry too much, as long as she is taking enough breastmilk/formula. Once the tooth is cut and she feels better, her eating will go back to normal.
