Hi- DD 8 months has had a bad cold for about 3 weeks now (just started childcare) and a cough for about a week and a half. She doesn't have a temp or anything but the problem is she is bringing up breastfeeds alot (more so than bottle - she is mix fed now). I am assuming this is due to the build up of mucous (she is worst first thing of course and has just done a huge projectile vomit of her bf).

Just want to check this is common - bit worried about her losing weight but I expect she will put it back on. She does better at keeping bottle feeds down (maybe also due to feeding position) so i am not worried about dehydration.

thanks alot

It's not that surprising to bring up feeds, I guess.

Could it be worthwhile to try feeding her in a more upright position? Lots of babies of this age like feeding sitting astride your knee, ime.
