DS has been unwell with gastroenteritis for the past 5 days, and has been gradually refusing his milk more and more. In fact, he was already getting awkward some 4 weeks ago. Due to the sickness, I've been offering him water to keep him hydrated, which he takes no problem at all. If you quickly swap the bottle to one with milk, he notices right away, starts bucking and crying. Dream feeding works somewhat, but even then he still doesn't want much to eat.
Why doesn't he want milk any more? Should I try a different brand? Could the lactose be making him unwell?
