A. Hi during teething phase kids suffer from loss of appetite and they tend to reject food intake.. give whatever food your baby is liking to avoid any nutritional deficiencies.. don't force feed and keep your baby well hydrated.

A. Just as you do, your baby loses his appetite when he's feeling a bit unwell or off-colour. So if your baby has a cold or a sore throat, or if he's teething, he may go off his food. He may simply be too tired to eat. If your baby is well and breastfeeding or drinking formula milk, it could be that he just isn't hungry.
