my daughter was a very good eater for the past month it's been terrible she's teething she already has two teeth do you think that the teething is making her very picky and she's also very fussy?

Teeth can really change a child's eating patterns drastically. Their mouth is just so sore it hurts to chew. Try giving Bonjela or panadol half an hour before dinner.

Yes teething will effect your baby in many ways. They will be very picky about their food. They will fuss. When my babies where teething I would give them Motrin or Tylenol. Also I would put their teething rings in the frig. to get them cold. One neat trick that really seemed to work well was to get a clean wash cloth, dip a little part of the cloth in water, put it in your freezer to freeze. They really like to chew on that. It numbs their little gums and gives them some relief. Infant ambisol (misspelt) is good to. They make a face about the taste at first but it numbs really well. Good Luck to you!

Most probably, mine wasn't a good eater until she cut all her teeth, now shes my little plate cleaner, hang in there, at this stage its all about practice, she is trying to figure out what she likes and dislikes and how to work her fork/spoon, and the pain of teething definately interferes slightly with all that. I assure you it will get better! Hyland teething tablets are also a great aid in the teething pain look them up online, they sell them at drug stores everywhere.

All very normal. Give her foods that are soft, soup, bananas etc. Just make sure she is drinking. If you are breastfeeding or formula she will be fine with that till those darn teeth come in and she feels better. Give her tylenol for the pain and cold washcloths to suck on. Hopefully she will feel better soon.

It could be teething, but if she starts to run a fever then I would take her to the doctor. Unfortunately at this age it is hard to figure out what exactly is wrong. With my daughter, it's usually an ear infection, or more recently, strep throat!

Yes, teeth can put your child in a bad mood. it is hard for her to chew with only two teeth. Try giving her soft foods like bananas, or baby food. if you are breastfeeding her she should be fine.Good Luck!

Don't worry too much about her eating...babies don't starve themselves...if they really need to eat they will. Babies teething are always cranky. Try cutting some carrots and cucumber into strips...not to thin...just enough for her to ba able to hold it. But refrigerate it before giving it to her....the cool feeling will ease her pain and soothes her gums.

Wow thats so cute!! I can imagine a cute dancing baby now lol! My daughter wiggles and slaps her hand on her thigh when she hears music. She shakes and balls her hands up into really tight fists and smiles and laughs when she hears music...and she also has favourite adverts. When a particular price comparison advert comes on she stares at the tv and no-one can get her attention back until its finished! babies are so cute!
