Baby not eating

jennalynne87

My baby is teething, her very first tooth, well shes only been drinking 16-19 oz the past 2 days. And she doesnt even act hungry. I have to force feed her every 3 hours. She used to scream after 2.5 hrs for food. Is this normal?

Sounds like it. Mine was that way until about 6 months, then the feeding spans foh further apart and the amount of formula increased. Plus, with her teething, she might not be feeling super. Teething is hell!

Pretty normal. Just follow her cues, she won't starve herself. Offer her different types of food, like cold yogurt, or her bottle at a different temperature. You can also give tylenol so the pain is controlled a bit then offer food a hour or so later when its kicked in. Also can try giving her an ice cube in one of those mesh things, or a wet cloth to help numb the pain before offering food. If she's still having 4 or so wet diapers a day, she's doing okay.
