LO is 19 weeks. Until 3 weeks ago he was feeding 4 hourly in the day and 2-3 times per night. I was about to start encouraging reduction in night feeding ( refluxers on meds) when he became I'll with what I initially thought was a cold. Over about 4 days he reduced his intake and would have little more often. I expressed the rest and fed him by bottle when he was too bunged up to feed on breast. He then was diagnosed with bronchiolitis and had about 3 days of difficulty breathing.
Things seemed to improve hut he was left with a lot of wheeze and a productive cough. He continued to feed at most 3 hours and I fed through the night too. I think he lost a little weight but not much.
Then he seemed to get another cold about 8 days ago. Bunged up again, breathing and coughing worse. He went off food for a couple of days and fed erreactically and only for very short bursts. He got diarrhoea and I wondered if it was because he only ever seems to get the fore milk now. Nights are horrendous with the coughing and as it sounds dry and rasping I often end Up feeding. Day and night now it's 2-3 hourly. He is getting better but seems slow and I know the cough can linger for weeks. I am worried that he now wakes almost hourly from about midnight and I feed about 2 hrly so must be creating some terrible habits. Have I got any options? (Weight is fine now).
