It's fine because she is still mix fed so has got some milk from me but she's not had much today, though she has eaten food normally.

She is on amoxyillin for her ear infection but no temp and fine in herself just a bit clingy.

Should I be concerned re not having much milk?

My DD had had the same thing for the last week. Only drinking 12-15oz per day rather than her usual 35! Doctor just advised offering every hour while awake water/milk in bottle or cup at diff temperatures in case that made a difference. Providing she is still having wet nappies and her fontanelle is not sunk he said not to be concerned.
She's much better today but doesn't want to be fed while being held so have been laying her on a beanbag and sitting next to her and she's taken a decent amount.

Thanks clearly I will try the different temp thing especially as we have to wake her up later for her antibiotics
