what 2 do? DS has cold an wont eat!
« on: March 04, 2006, 02:30:42 am »
Hello, i have a DS who is 4MO and he has a terrible flu now, i already gave his the meds the doc gave him, but he hasn't eaten very much today, for instance he just drank 2oz at his 7:30pm bottle and, he usually takes 6 to 8oz each take (he is on a 4hour easy), i do give him a DF, usually takes 3 oz, and he doesn't wake to feed anymore until 8am, but with the amount of milk he has drank today, i know he will be hungry earlier, what should i do???? plase help!!!!

When they are sick you feed if they need it... esp as fluids are really important to a sick baby... a little & lots is what I always offer... sure it throws the routine out, but as my SIL says "you have a routine so you have something to go back to when they get well again".

Illness also makes for an unsettled night sleep, so comfort your baby as much as you can as that & fluids is what is going to help him get better
