Teething and Food
Reese is rejecting his usual food....one by one... first his favourite pasta, next peanut butter bread then noodles soup and now.... his mushroom soup!!! Ah.... what am I to do? He only takes his fruits and yogurt. Even his milk intake is effected. These days, he never finish his milk..always leave 2 oz or so...
Could it be due to teething? Yesterday I tried fried dory fish..and he likes it but he can't be taking just dory fish right? He also takes KFC's mash potato and I can't be giving him Fast food everyday either... Can't give him chicken much because it's hard for him to chew...not enough teeth. He only has 8 teeth. Heahache... He needs vegetables...he needs a balance diet. My boy is sooo fussy!!
The good news is.. he is teething again...finally... this time... 3 teeth erupting at the same time.. 2 upper canines (cuspid) and one lower canine. Probably the other lower canine erupting soon. Reese keeps putting his fingers into his mouth and biting on his toys and even tables. Now what? I am worry about his food intake...

Maybe he is bored of the daily food. You can try making ur own meshed potato and blend in some vegetables. Boiled the potato and some vegetables like brocolli or spinash till soft, pour into a blender, add 90-120ml of milk, blend everything together. (u may add some salt if needed).
gosh...maybe you can share wth us later how you overcame this problem as rachael just started teething
Oh....hmm....like June I have not experienced this yet, so cannot really share.
With all the trouble you take to make his food healthy and all that...and now you have to come up with more healthy varieties...
bet you have exhausted all websites on children food! hope you get some idea soon!
Soo Li,
I tried that long time ago...he doesn't like my version...
June,
Actually nothing much you can do when they are teething... just apply teething gel if your baby is in pain or uncomfortable. Some children will even get fever..so just have to monitor...as for Reese.. luckily he doesn't drool or have fever just wants to bite on things...
Ann,
mmmm... actually... I should check those websites!! never thought of it.... haha...
*ouch* 3 teeth at the same time! that must be real painful!!
since he like dory fish, would rather stick on to it just to fill his stomach...
Baby Darren got great suggestion there, think it workable.
btw, is it ok if i link your blog to mine? tks
blessed mum,
You are welcome to put a link to my blog and I will also link to yours!! Yeah.. 3 teeth at once..and now...it doesn't seems to bother him.. I can see the tip of all three teeth now.. Food wise..I am trying a few different things...and it seems to work 70% of the time...phew..Thank God...
