Are babies hungrier when teething?

My baby is teething and cries often. Are babies hungrier when teething?

1 Answer

They tend not to be hungrier, but they are in pain and chewing, gnawing and generally using their mouth more often soothes them. So it may appear that they're hungrier, but they're just trying to soothe their mouth. *Penelope Hsu, MD, PCC* (e) Penelope@guidingclarity.com (w) www*.drpenelopehsu.com* <http://www.drpenelopehsu.com> (p) 202 262 7750
