I posted in children's health but thought I'd see if anyone can help here!
My son is almost 1. He has chicken pox (we think) or it could be hand/foot/mouth - I'm taking him to the docs today.
But since yesterday morning he won't latch on to feed at all. He normally feeds at least 3 or 4 times a day so I'm worried.
It's like it hurts him to do so and he tries but then cries and wriggles away. I wonder If he's got pox on his tongue? He's excessively dribbly too - he never normally wears a bib but I'm having to change one every half hour because they are drenched. He also won't drink formula from a Tommie tippee closer to nature bottle and he normally is happy to have a few ounces that way.
I'm so worried that this is going to be the end of feeding for us. I tried to express last night and this morning as I'm worried for my supply and getting engorged too. But hardly anything comes out!
I was thinking I could call a bf helpline.
Anyone else had something similar?
Thanks :(
