I've just had this and just had to offer it constantly. 30 ml at a time. She drank very small amounts but just kept offering.

@Robyn I’m worried about re offering as I feel the more I do the more irate she gets 😩

@Robyn how much did she have all day x

The least she has was 400ml in a day. She's 5 months old. Doctor said as long as she wasn't dehydrated and there were at least some wet nappies and no dehydration signs, then it's fine just keep offering little and often and they come out the other side. Was horrible mind!

Depends on age. As long as feeding more than 1/2 of what they typically feed then usually okay. Just offer little and often. We had this and resulted in a hospital stay after she ended up projectile vomiting everywhere and scaring the life out of me. NHS guide is 150ml per 1kg of weight as a minimum and that’s what we had to hit to be able to come home. They also allow 2/3 of this in extreme circumstances we were told. It sucks but your best is all you can do xxx
