My last thread on here was about my dd eating too much, so this will probably sound a bit mad, but she's gone completely the other way now and I'm beginning to feel very concerned. I just wondered if anyone has any advice or experience of this?
For the last couple of days, dd has taken no more than 350ml of milk each day, alongside zero solid food and no water. She gets really angry whenever a bottle or cup comes anywhere near her.
Possibly other relevant factors:
- she's had a cold for about the last month but it hasn't disrupted her feeding
- she has a slightly mucusy cough
- no teeth yet
- she is producing wet nappies but less frequent and they seem more yellow
- her poo is reasonably regular but pretty solid
- one minute her cheeks are bright red, the next she's deathly pale, but her overall temperature is ok
- she has no other underlying health problems that I'm aware of
- she's started waking frequently in the night and is very difficult to settle, which is very out of character
I saw the hv today and she didn't seem too bothered, but I just don't know how much longer a baby can go with so little fluid. If anyone has any advice I'd be really really grateful.
