poorly DD wont eat or drink only bf.

[ChristmasInTheSnowsBest]

DD (10 months) has chicken pox, ear infection and a rotton cold. She hasn't eaten or drunk for 4 days, only bf. She is bf lots more than normal.I am offering meals and snacks as usual but eventually she cries and screams so i bf her. She's also bf in the night 3-4 times (usually 1-2).
I'm worried this will become a habbit (she cries so I take away food and bf). I'm also worried whether at 10 months she gets enough from bf alone.
Any advice?

Just feed her, she knows best :). When she is hungry for food again she will let you know. When they are little like this it can be like starting weaning all over again when they get poorly.

As long as she is getting the fluids don't worry :)

I agree with the others, I think young children are brilliant at knowing what they need. I would keep offering her food and drinks but if she doesn't want it just carry on as you are.
