Weight loss after illness

Hi is it normal for a baby to lose a bit of weight when they’ve been ill? My little one is 6 months and has had diarrhoea for a week and a viral infection, cough cold etc.

He feels like he’s lost a bit of weight to me (though he’s gone up a clothes size)he has been off his milk/food but overall happy and content in himself and doctor wasn’t concerned.

I haven’t had him weighed yet I am hoping to get in touch with the health visitor tomorrow. Just thought I’d ask all the lovely mumsnetters!
