Refusing solids while teething

Is this normal? DD has eaten very little the past few days, maybe finished one meal the last four days. She has two teeth coming in on top and I'm actually wondering if there are more coming. She wasn't on solids when the bottom two came in so we didn't have this issue.

I've been giving her motrin and teething tablets but I'm not sure if there's anything else I should do for her. She seems pretty happy otherwise. Should I just ride this out and hope she starts to eat again once they finish breaking through?

Re: Refusing solids while teething

during the worst of his top teeth coming in my DS was anti solids, even his favorite, avocado. My ped said it was normal for them to favor the bottle over solids at this time... lo and behold he is starting to munch on solids again as the top teeth just broke through

DS is doing this now- i'm hoping its teething waiting to see if any teeth pop through. He usually is a good eater but is refusing table foods lately and only eats baby food.

Thanks! She is pretty much only on oatmeal and purees. The past two days she ate a decent dinner but only eats a little breakfast and nothing at lunch. She's also refusing puffs which she usually loves. One tooth has broken through so now we're just waiting for the other. Hopefully after that we'll have a break!

My 7 month old doesn't have any teeth yet but has been refusing almost all solids (oatmeal/bannana/squash) for past 2 weeks. Not sure what is going on.
