My poor little DS had the norovirus over New Year and is recovering ok although seems to have secondary lactose intolerance as a result of all the diarrhoea
I had him weighed on Tuesday and he's lost quite a lot of weight - gone down from 75th to 35th centile in the 5 weeks since I last had him weighed.
He's now having 5 or 6oz of formula every 3 hours throughout the day and night, so I think he's having between 40-46oz every 24 hours, which seems like an awful lot. I suppose he's just making the weight back up, but should I consider a hungry baby formula?
He's never slept through, the best has been about 5 and a half hours, but used to only wake around 3am for a feed then back to sleep until 7am. What with the illness, teething before Christmas, and now several feeds in the night, it's like having a newborn again and we're exhausted.
Anyone else experienced this after an illness? How long did it last?
He's not weaned yet as I wanted to do BLW which we'll start in the next few weeks I think. Does adding solids make a difference? Everything I've read says not to count on it helping with the sleep, but does it ever help? Help!
