Miss 14months has been off food a bit for about a week, and since saturday she has eaten next to nothing. Yesterday she had a pikelet and sausage, and today so far she has has 2 spoons of yohgurt. She is a very big eater usually. She is still drinking her milk and some water, not as much though. She isn't being picky, as she is refusing her fave foods.
She has her eye teeth coming through...i wondered if` this was related? However she has never gone off food when teething before. When should i start to worry? Is it worth taking her to a doctor yet? |

My DS is a massive eater too but when his molars came through he refused food for the first time ever! If she's teething it's a pretty good bet that that's what it is. If you're worried about her liquid intake then you could offer an iceblock (or icecream) which will help her gums feel better too 
If it's just the food refusal, and she's not otherwise upset or feverish or anything then I'd just wait it out and keep offering what you usually do and some favourites to entice her if she's feeling hungry. ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

| Same with DD when her molars were coming through. I would say it was related, but definately keep a look out for the other signs incase this isn't it. |
