not hungry.. teething?

[Anna Marie]

I posted this question on the health section but just in case anyone here can help... lara is almost 5 months and is definitely experiencing a bit of gum sorenes but cannot see any teeth buds yet.. however the last couple of days she has really gone off her milk.. usually takes 7 oz at each feed now she will stop at 5 and refuse point blank to take any more... she is also very tetchy and chews her hands and drools so I know teething is iminent...

Is this loss of apetite temporary.. is it OK? and how long will this last.?. I am worried she will lose weight as she is still on the low side of her percentile line.

Thanks everyone x
