Should I be concerned?

10month old not drinking much of anything - water, formula - she will have a bit of water here and there- not really interested in milk anymore but will eat baby food - not sure if it’s normal or what? She has got a cold/cough and is teething - I have been giving her calpol and ashtons parsons teething powder- I’ve used the snufflebaby thing for her nose and using olbas oil too…. Despite all that doesn’t feel like this illness is going (I understand teething can’t be helped really) but the last 3days she’s just not wanting to drink as much fluids - she does have baby food (puréed/lump food) , snacks(fruit, yoghurts, baby biscotti biscuits, a range of finger foods) I just don’t know what I’m doing - FTM 😬😬HELP PLEASE 🙏🏻

I’m just very worried 😟 that I’m doing something wrong or I’m not doing anything right - I’ve been trying to get in to the doctors -

If she’s unwell and teething then it can be common for them to have less. Keep offering little and often. As long as there’s still plenty of wet nappies I wouldn’t worry too much x

My LO is 10 month & was the exact same about two weeks ago. He had 6 teeth coming through at the same time. Literally would not drink anything one day he didn’t have any milk from 8pm the night before to about 7pm the day after and it freaked me out. I found using anbesol for his teeth to numb the pain & Sterimar congestion relief to help him breathe clearer when he’s feeding. It works much better than snuffle babe nasal spray. I use snufflebabe vicks stuff & put it on his feet and clothes that helps clear him better. I think the combination of both doesn’t help & they just don’t feel like eating. I also made him meals & put water in it so he was having some form of fluid. Like I did weetabix with his formula milk or cheesy pastina with water in to thin it out. Things like this all count towards fluid intake. My little one went off water so I made an oz prune juice to 6/7 oz water in his bottle and offered him that which he liked as he was fussy with water when he was teething/ill xx
