Bad Cough in DS, slightly worried about his feeding.

Hi,

DS is five and a half months old and EBF, he currently has a bad cough and a sore throat (he sounds croaky). Yesterday his nappies weren't as wet as they normally are and although he is feeding he's arching away at times.

He's actually started to rub his ear now, ok this may be why he's not liking the feeding.

Anyway, what can I do to make him more comfortable to feed (whilst I ring the Doctors yet again)? I fed him last night twice (I don't normally feed him, but I was concerned that he wasn't getting as much milk as he normally does)

Can you try feeding in different positions? Rugby hold/lying down/flat on his back with you 'dangling' over the top etc. Just thought maybe his ear is bothering him in one particular position. Calpol?
