Milk is an important source of nutrients that you and your family shouldn’t miss out on. If someone in your family has lactose intolerance and the rest of the family still want to enjoy the taste of real milk, try Lactofree - the UK’s first virtually lactose-free dairy drink.

My DS has been ill since the end of March with D&V, and we are hoping he is finally recovering.
He is bf, and until ill would feed in the morning, maybe once or twice during the day, then bedtime. I am back at work, so obv on those days he wouldn't have his daytime feedds which was fine.
He's never eaten very much, but while ill he has eaten almost nothing (few tiny bits of toast and a couple of raisins a day maybe) and since Saturday he has gone back to feeding like a newborn, or it feels like it! He was in bed with us feeding this morning (maybe from 5-6) and then since getting up at 6.30 he has already had 3 or 4 feeds.
Is he building himself uP? He's had a cough too so maybe a sore throat?
Any advice? please tell me he will go back to normal! I'm back not daring to go in the shower in case he needs feeding

Could be recovering from illness, could be a growth spurt (DS had a big one at about 12/13 mo). I'd wait to see if it settles down again...

this is the great thing about bf at this age, they can rely in it if they're feeling unwell

growth spurt is hopeful, also he's sleeping loads at the moment which would agree with that.
I'm back at work tomorrow tho so worried he'll still need to feed

be prepared for an evening/night of him latching on if that's the case grin

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
