My teether won't eat

[kath16]

Ugh. My 8 month old is working hard on his top two teeth and they are breaking through. H just texted me that he has only eaten 4oz of formula today and won't really eat purées either

He took Tylenol but still won't eat

Any thoughts? H has tried cold bottles, food, etc. Teethers help but don't make him eat.

We've switched from Tylenol to Motrin for teething for Hobbes. (She is 8.5 months and also working on her top two.) We also sometimes have better luck with cold purees or purees mixed with cold yogurt.

I would also try some cold applesauce or cold yogurt. Worse case it should pass in a couple days, but I know it's hard to watch them in pain and worry about their food intake.

I agree with trying motrin. Tylenol doesn't help teething pain in our house.
