Baby drinking less formula

My 19’week old daughter has recently had Bronchiolitis and is coming to the end of it all now. She was drinking less whilst she was really ill (around 4oz each feed when her usual amount is 7-8oz). She’s coughing still on the odd occasion and is almost over it now, but is still feeding less (around 6oz every 4 hours) still enough to ‘stay hydrated’ as doctor said, however I’m wondering if it’s normal for babies to take a while to get back to their usual amounts? Its a battle to get her to drink 6oz, she’ll have around half and then we need a break before she has the other half. Health visitor is coming Friday so can speak to her then, just wondering what other people’s advice/experiences might be? 3rd child but never experienced this before! Still having wet/dirty nappies and sleeping through.

Thank you ☺️

Totally normally.

It's just like us if we're ill and appetite has gone it slowly builds up again.

6oz is a good amount and fine if she needs a break half way.

Hope she feels back to herself soon!
