Just keep in contact with your pediatrician, and if he is not alarmed than you shouldn't be. Children can go through many fazes and I would say a couple of pounds either way isn't a big deal. Just make sure that it doesn't get to be more than that. My daughter (three now) went through periods where she didn’t want to eat much, and then it was like she would start eating a lot again.

My son did that and I took him to the dr. His dr. said not to worry about it unless he was seriously losing weight and that he would eat if he gets hungry enough. Try to offer foods you know she likes and maybe she'll take a bite or two. Children do refuse to eat around that age. My son did that and I took him to the dr.

What did the doctor say about this? If he wasn't concerned, he should have at least given you suggestions to help your daughter through this. Give her some crushed ice or all natural popsicles. The orajel didn't work for my daughter, but it might for yours. Try pedia-sure, or find some soft food. Maybe find a flavor of babyfood she'll eat. Don't try to get her to eat solid foods when her teeth are hurting. Hope this helps and good luck! You sound like a good, smart momma. What did the doctor say about this?
