My ds has a stinker of a cold, not too stuffy in the nose any more, but a hacking cough and a croaky throat. No temperature thank God, but he's really not feeding terribly well. He just seems uninterested. He's in a pretty good mood, he kept grinning at me all during the last feed but he took barely any in, kept pulling away from me. I'm a bit concerned that he needs to keep his energy levels up if he's ill, is it normal for babies to go off their food when they're ill and how can I get him to bf? I gave him 4oz of ebm earlier which he took, do you think he's just being a bit lazy cos he's not feeling so great?
