Carter isn't refusing feedings, but he is eating over half an ounce less (sometimes more!) at each feeding since night before last. That might not seem like a lot, but I'm having to squeeze in an extra feeding just so he will eat enough in a 24 hour period. I'm pretty sure he's teething. He chews on his fists a lot and is drooling, whereas he wasn't doing that before. Any insight? With Kade, his first tooth just appeared out of nowhere 2 days before he was 6 months. Carter is only just over 4 months. --------------------

She'd eat more at times she was growing and less at others. -------------------- Dee Dee , Mommy to: Ashley Marie 9/05/02 Joshua Lee 2/03/00 (Our Angel in Heaven)
