I think they do go through stages, especially when they start teething. Stella devoured every ounce of dry food I'd give her for breakfast, lunch and dinner between about 3 1/2 to 5 months. Once she started losing lots of teeth, I think her mouth was sore so she didn't want to eat anymore and I had to wet her food and hand feed her, otherwise she wouldn't eat. Now she's getting better, and starting to eat more like she did before. So I wouldn't worry, just make sure they eat something. I also found that giving her a big ice cube to play with before meal time helped get her more hungry because I think it numbed her mouth a bit so it didn't hurt to chew. (Now she runs to the kitchen as fast as she can whenever she hears the ice dispenser...she LOVES her ice!) |
