Poorly baby milk drop
My 7m old has been hit with cough, wheezing, blocked nose, chest infection and ear infection and fever past week which as a result has completely messed with his appetite. I can only get him to drink about 2-3 ounces per feed and in 24 hours he is only drinking about 12-14 ounces which is very low to what he is normally used to. He couldn’t keep his food down last few days so I’ve not given him any solids just offered him milk throughout. But yesterday he’s taken some breakfast and dinner with about 12 ounces of milk. I am so worried about his milk intake, can someone please tell me what I do to help him. He is currently on antibiotics for the infections

My wee girl couldn’t drink her bottle due to her nose being blocked, saline and a snot sucker b4 her bottles helped a wee bit ❤️
Thank you both, this puts me at ease. Lil man soldiered through but it was really worrying for how little he was drinking for his big age x

My little one is in a similar position, full of cold, wheezy and is on antibiotics. When we went to the docs I mentioned he had been off food/milk and they said as long as nappies are wet and he’s still dribble he’s hydrated and he’s just gonna take what he wants at the moment. Keep offering food/milk as usual when he’s hungry and not to worry too much while he’s poorly he won’t feel like eating much. Just worry when he isn’t taking anything and his nappies are dry. Hope this helps 😊
