how can I get her to eat??
At around 3 months generally speaking their teeth begin to move about and this has simular effects on them as actual teething does. They go off their food, they dribble a bit more, they get more clingy & irritable & their sleep patterns will change VERY frequently.
The teeth are getting "On there marks" so to speak and if you remember getting your wisdom teeth you might recall how uncomfortable that was on occassion even when they were not actually fighting to pop through.
This will last maybe a fortnight and then things will settle down a bit until the next big change happens. The first year is like this, very up and down. I hate to be the one to break it to you, but you might only just be a week into a routine when something else happens in her growth and it'll be all over the place again. I found it neccessary to do the control crying very strictly then otherwise I would have lost it completely, instead of just becoming temporarily mental like I did....nice to be able to laugh about it now. Just keep telling yourself that it's normal, hundreds of thousands of Mums are going through the same thing & in 8 months you too will look back and wearily smile. xo
