Hello, I am hoping someone will be able to advise me. We all have a cold this week and because DD is blocked up she is struggling with feeding. She is feeding for shorter periods but more often, still has dirty/wet nappies but has a depressed fontanelle so I am wondering if she is dehydrated. I feed her for as long as she can manage (she gets very upset and frustrated), give her a rest and try again, offer her boob if she gets upset at any point in case she is hungry etc so I am not sure how I could get any more fluids into her. She is exclusively BF btw. Is a depressed fontanelle def a sign of dehydration? If so, can anyone suggest what I can do?
I am off for a bath now but will be back shortly.
Thank you [slightly worried emoticon]
