She eats well normally and all has been well with the teething up until now, the top tooth broke through about 3 days ago and the bottom ones have been out for a few weeks. I wouldn't worry about her not eating but she is in the 10th percentile for her weight and I don't think she can afford to skip too many meals

Only offer breastmilk or formula, it is by far more nutrient dense than anything else. Try it warm, chilled or frozen. You can place frozen cubes in a mesh bag for safety. (Make your own if you have some cheese cloth or somthing kicking around).
If she really wants something else give it, but just focus on breastmilk or formula. Even if you have to pump. Try to avoid infant cereals as they have a very bad protein to carb ratio. Babies need tonnes of protein. Egg yolks and meat could be good as well, but breastmilk and formula are key.

I understand your concerns I've been there myself. 2 of my girls weren't even on the chart for weight they were so small. Your daughter may not be feeling well because of her teeth coming in. Make sure she is drinking plenty of fluids and try to squeeze in some crackers or bread. If it's her teeth that are bothering her, her appetite should come back soon. If you are still worried about her weight I would call her pediatrician just to make sure it's nothing serious.

It happens when they're teething and the teeth break through. The only thing you can really do is just keep offering bottles & food as much as possible. Watch for signs of dehydration! Good Luck, she'll be fine!

When a child is hungry, they'll eat. Offer her favorite foods, and when her mouth doesn't hurt so much, she'll eat. Try soft things, like bananas, or go to a health food store- they have homeopathic teething tablets that work WONDERS!

If she's 3 months, then she could desire to have had intercourse with somebody else to be that far alongside. she will't be 3 months with a newborn of yours once you had intercourse along with her final week. Get a attempt to verify the daddy. ^_^

Leave her alone. Offer her meals/snacks but don't force it. When she's hungry she'll eat because children that small don't starve themselves.
If she's teething, she may not feel well or have sore gums.

Try giving her sweeter food like fruits and things that taste good to stimulate her appetite. You could aslo try some tylenol to help with pain and see if she eats better.

Well it is normal but if you are really concerned try to get her to drink the pediasure drinks that are for nutrition and maybe that will help her. My daughter was the same way! hang in there! good luck!

Try all the time to make her eat, and make sure its foods that she'll enjoy -- but don't be up in her face. Trust me, she'll come to you when shes hungry and looking for food.
