Teething : Child's physiologic reaction to teething sound normal. He may be not eating quite as much because his gums are sore and/or his growth has slowed a bit. Babies eat more when grown, less when not. One e 1st baby tooth erupts important that he see a Dentist, preferably a pediatric dental specialist (Pedodontist), but no later than 1st b'day. And NEVER put him to bed w a bottle (see Bottle Syndrome).
