Teething?

Hi, my DD is 9 months old and has no visible teeth yet. Her appetite for semi-solid food has gone haywire since Saturday. She'd only eat a few spoons of food then rub her face irritably and chomp on her fingers. She used to eat 3 small meals a day but now she's like eating only half the amount each time at best. Fortunately she still loves to snack on egg yolk (1 a day). I'm suspecting that she may be teething. Anyone experienced decreased appetite when bb's teething?

Sounds like teething.

From his first tooth at about 8 months until now (almost 2) my son always starts to put his fingers in mouth and has loss of appetite when teething. He usually gets like this before I can even see any whites on his gums. For him after about 5 - 7 days he goes back to normal eating habits.

ok, i'm hoping that her appetite will go back to normal soon. So demoralising: every time have to throw away the food i prepared for her coz she'd only eat a few mouths then eat her fingers instead. She's so scrawny already, i'm afraid she mt lose weight!

My bb also drool. But only 2mths. So long no see any teeth. Probably because play with saliva till drool.

My DD is down with flu now. Maybe that's why she's not eating well also. Dr just prescribed appetitizer to make her eat more. Haha. Hope it works though...
