Teething can sometimes cause discomfort that may affect feeding habits, leading to reduced intake and potential weight changes. Ensure she is getting enough nutrition during this time; if she seems reluctant to breastfeed or take a bottle, try offering a pacifier or a teething toy to soothe her gums. You can also apply gentle pressure to her gums with your clean finger to provide comfort. Make sure she stays hydrated and consider offering small amounts of age-appropriate pureed foods if she is ready for solids. If you notice any concerning signs, such as fever, excessive fussiness, or changes in bowel movements, or if you are worried about her weight, consult your pediatrician for guidance. They can help ensure that her teething and overall health are on track.
