Ill and won't eat solids

Just come on here for a bit of moral support really.

DD is nearly 8 months. I've been breastfeeding and doing BLW. Sleep not great, but she generally only needed one feed in the night. Other wakings weren't hunger.

All going pretty well until she came down with some virus or bug or something this week. She's been feeding at least twice or sometimes three times a night. Won't touch any solids - even the things she normally loves like pear, brocoli and cheese on toast - so I'm pretty sure it's genuine hunger.

Am knackered. Please tell me it will get better when she does... She won't take a bottle of EBM so DH can't even help out. I'm starting to look with envy at those who've moved onto formula [sigh]. Although, since she wouldn't take a bottle, it's not like that would even be an option.

Sorry, just ranting.

Anyone? Please tell me it will right itself.

It should do - DD woke every 90 minutes when she was poorly this week, however, has returned to her NORMAL two times per night. Once her solids go bck up she should cut down again on the feeds.

I wanna know what more I can do to get her to sleep through - she's on 3 solid meals per day!!
