I  would not consider it normal for a 9 mo old to lose weight, unless there
was an intervening acute illness or other known illness. I do not think
teething would lead to a 1/2 lb. wt loss. So I would think something is
wrong. It seems the baby was eating solids but then began refusing. What are
the particulars of this? What kind of solids? How fed to  baby or does baby
feed self? Any parenting issues related to feeding, like food battles or
some such behavior?
What about allergies? Any history of this in family members? any indications
of this at earlier ages?
What about development? Is the baby happy, and developing normally? What
other symptoms or signs can parents detect? Any vomiting or refluxing
symptoms? It is a real mystery but warrants investigation in my opinion.
