Mine certainly did. He went from drinking 20-24 oz of breastmilk/formula to about 12-15 oz a day. I was very worried, but my ped said it would only be temporary and it was. It lasted about 2 weeks and then he FINALLY started back on his origional schedule. Just be sure to offer her fluids to keep her hydrated. It helped for me to spoon-feed my son some milk with cereal/fruit and that way he took in more fluids. I also added an oz of juice to every 3-4 oz milk (just once or twice a day) and he seemed to drink more that way. Good luck, call your pediatrician if it lasts more than a week or 2!

Yes! This is a sign of teething. Babies who are teething don’t eat as much because the feeling of the milk going over their gums is painful. Also, babies who are teething will bit on the nipple instead of sucking on it.
If it lasts more than a few days, though, I’d call the doctor to be sure that there isn’t something else going on. The true symptoms of teething ( decrease in eating, rubbing ears, intense gnawing, fussiness) should only last a few days prior to a tooth erupting and a few days after.
Good luck! Soon you’re little one will have pearly whites!

often, yes. ruby ate less when she was teething as an infant and still on bottles. now, as a toddler (14 months almost), it seems to affect her eating differently — instead of eating less, she prefers certain foods, soft ones, actually. but, yes, loss of appetite is a very normal symptom of teething.

my daughter did slow down on eating when she was bottle fed and teething. my doctor told me that the sucking actually make it feel worse and it was normal for her to eat less for a bit while the tooth is cutting.
