Hi my DD is 7 months and has just recovered from a throat infection on Tues. She had vomited over every feed for over four days.

Really glad she is better again, but all of a sudden she has doubled the amount of solids she usually takes as well as wakening twice during the night for a bottle. She actually screams for the night bottles so no way i can not give her them. My mum warns that I could be starting a habit!

Has anyone any experience of their kiddies suddenly being ravenous after being sick. Just find it really hard to take in because up until now I have had to fight with her to take her bottles and now she is crying out for them. Really glad on the one hand but not to happy bout night feeds. Never happy lol

Doubt you're starting a habit - maybe your baby is just hungry, she must be feeling a bit empty.

sure she just needs feeding poor little love, don't worry about "habits" - your LO needs re-nourishing after being poorly!
