Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but do you have a health visitor you could ask for advice?

Is he eating his meals? And any water?

ST79 · 31/01/2023 21:27

Not eating hasn't been since teething start just on purées. Has little sips of water through out the day.

Wet nappies ok?

Long as nappies are wet he's hydrated.

He's not well so off his food. It can sometimes take afew days for their appetite to come back fully after being unwell.
Offer what you know he loves to get something in him. Watermelon goes down well in our house when ill.

I used to put water in Calpol syringe and put in his mouth to get some extra water in if needed.
GP said to me, they can go days without eating it's the fluid they need.
