Teething :(
Hi girls
Well the title says it all really. My lo is 12 weeks and has started teething properly since about Saturday night. When I say properly I mean high squeals at night, rosy cheeks and forcing objects into his mouth. I know how to control the pain for him but he's not eating and this is worrying me. He levee so muh of hiss bottles and yesterday he only took about 20oz - he even missed a full bottle! I put him in my bed after giving him some paracetamol and lay with him cuddling into me and let him sleep there untill I was going to bed for comfort and I thought since he missed a bottle he would wake up but he didn't!
How do I make sure he gets his milk?!?:\?

We have same thing here. Beth is 28 weeks tomorrow and teething badly. She has barely eaten for days and only had 1oz this morning and even that was hard work.
I went to GP this morning (not about teething though!) and mentioned it to her and she said not to worry as they can go a good few days without food. Just gotta try to keep the fluids up. No idea how as she totally refuses to open her mouth for anything.
Have a go with the syringe....my LO wouldnt open her mouth unless i pretended to pop in her dummy then id give her 5ml of water/juice. MEan i know but she needed to drink something.
Her appetite now has more or less fully backto normal and i went to weigh her today and she has put on a 1lb and a half.
You will know if something isnt quite right....mums seem to have an instinct and always go with you gut feeling.
