Teething Blues

Landon has been refusing solid food and even his bottles lately...I figured it was probably the teething but I took Landon to the doctor this morning just to get him checked, as I am a little paranoid with the eating thing after everything that happened.  All of his "cold"like symptoms are just due to the teething and he said the eating was probably a result of teething as well.  But, I am going to try to adjust his formula amounts and feeding times a bit, just to see if he will take more solid food.  I will double check with the pediatrician next week, but my family doctor wants Landon to have more calories from solid food because his weight is still under the 25th percentile, where is height is in the 90th percentile.  He weighed in at 17lbs 13 oz today...and is almost 29 inches long.  Even during those frustrating teething moments, I have been reminding myself to be thankful that its only teething! 

He has still been taking that one step, but hasn't gotten much further yet.  He has been pretty low key the last 2 days, and I am hoping that with another couple days of good sleeps (that hasn't been affected which is nice) he will be back to normal and hopefully those two teeth will come through!  
I hope you all are having a good week...Blessings to all of you!

Hi Kristin, my son Elijah was born on Nov 25th (I am terrible at updating my blog) but I enjoy reading yours! Elijah too refuses to eat and then usually a few days later -sometimes longer he will get a tooth. Try some oragel before his bottle and see if that helps.
Good luck
