she was really ill over the weekend with bronchiolitis, wasnt feeding ended up in hospital after her going blue....

anyway she is ALOT better now just blocked up a bit and chesty cough but she still isnt feeding, will take 2-3oz every 3-4 hours if we are lucky...she will drink baby juice though (hates water and really needed to get fluids in her) they were considering keeping her in sat night to tube feed her but let her home.

what can i do to make her dirnk some milk? she hasnt had any milk since about 4 o'clock but has had juice since then. will be waking her in the next hour to try and get milk in her (she has had about 6oz today)

got doc in morning cos im really worried about her not feeding....have tried feeding her little and often but she wont take it, do i just let have as much milk as she will and then let her drink juice between?

Hi as long as she is taking fluids thats good , try watering down her milk , you know yourself milk can be heavy when you feel ill , it wont do her any harm not drinking milk as much but as long as she is taking something . My son was ill few weeks ago and i had to water down his milk , he is great now and toke few days for him to be back to himself with taking milk normally

its just a juice for babies 4 months plus...only 2 weeks away form that and paedeatrician and doctor said to give her that diluted right down because she wasnt taking water or milk....

i would rather she had baby juice than dehydrate!
