DD recently had a tummy bug/virus and wouldn't really drink much milk at the time (understandably) although she would BF (she is mixed fed - BF only at bedtime, wake up and at night).

The thing is, she is over the bug now, but will only really drink 4oz of FF at a time now, whereas she was taking 6-7oz before. She is eating fairly well (BLW) but the amount hasn't really increased in line with the decrease in milk.

I am worried she isn't getting enough...

She is teething, but usually her milk intake goes up, not down whilst her teeth are cutting Confused

Any ideas?

Watch her weight- if she is loosing than you need to speak with hv or doctor. But when you feel poorly you tend not to have much appetite anyway. Hope she gets better soon.
