Topic: To worry or not to worry? Posted: 13 February 2008 at 10:10am |
Ok forget the title i am worried!
Kylah isnt drinking half as much as she was 3 days ago.
When she woke up in the morning she would easily take 200ml no problems in like record time.. now i am lucky if she takes 100ml.
This goes on all day, she used to drink at least 5-6 200ml bottles a day. Im lucky if she takes 3 bottles the whole day?? I make them all 200ml and she will drink like 80ml then like 3 hours later have 50ml and then a few hours later she might have 100ml..
She doesnt really eat her solids for lunch maybe gone down to 1 cube from 4 and her dinner she has gone from 4 cubes to about 2 and a half.
Also for the last 3 days she has been all kinds of difficult, she grizzles, and whinges all day, she actually has this whingy grizzle that she keeps up all day. She still sleeps well, and still sleeps all night but should i be worried about the feeding? Should i take her to the doc? She hasnt had a temp at all..
Help!

It sounds to me like she might be teething that can really put them off there food. As she seems well except for that, i.e. no temp etc I would give it till Friday and if no improvement then see the doc before the weekend.

I'd take her to the doc at the very least to reassure you. I wonder if it is teething? Mind you a friend of mine had a similar thing with her 8 month old and it turned out to be a UTI (imagine getting a urine sample off a baby girl!!!  ) and now she is on ABs and slowly getting her appetite back.
So yes, I'd take her to Doc.

Nikki iv had to do the urin samle when she was 6 weeks old, wasnt nice i thought she would scream but it didnt seem to bother her.
I thought teething too, because she will chew her teets, she chews her fingers HEAPS now, its not sucking them anymore its actually chewing them..

I will go to Doc's just to check make sure everything is o.k. My son did kinda the same thing when he was 6 months old and I thought it was teething too. He wasn't eating much and was grizzly got him checked he had a red ear/ ear infection after that was sorted he was back to his normal chirpy self. It's always a good idea just in case.  It wasn't teething he is 10.5 months now and no teeth!

I would go to the doc too to get her checked over. Could be a number of things - teething, sore throat/ears, UTI etc as the others have said. Ashleigh had a UTI at 5 months and displayed the same sort of symptoms as Kylah plus a few others. She didn't develop a fever until about a week later and thats when I took her to the doc and it was well advanced by then so we ended in hospital

Guess you are off to Docs
I must admit I dont go to the docs often myself and didnt want to be rushing off everytime something was a bit off but after going one time (all was normal) and realising it is either free (in our case) or minimal cost I decided it is SO WORTH going!

Sounds like teething to me too but you never know - it's better to be safe than sorry I say. I always take Gina to the GP when in doubt

Well i took her to the doctor and they didnt seem worried at all  said she is teething and that it will pass, took her temp and did a urine sample just incase but apart from that nothing.
I gave her a bit of bonjela last night before bed and that seemed to help!
