Urgent help- 10 month old

My DD is 10 months and has just developed her first ever cold which is making her a bit grumpy and she is feeding less. I believe the recommended average oz for a baby of 10 months (formula fed) is 14oz but today she has only consumed 12/13. Should I give her a dream feed to top this up or should I just leave her?
TIA

Don't panic. It's barely any difference. It won't matter either way. At 10 months they are getting nutrition from other sources as well, and it'll only be for a couple of days. Do what feels right to you for you baby.

I'd leave her honestly. Being slightly under for one day won't hurt her. Very normal to lose appetite when feeling unwell.
If she's under the weather and sleeping peacefully, I think getting the rest is more important than potentially disturbing for the sake of a couple of ounces
I hope she feels better soon

Just leave her. Remember to offer more drinks during the day and ice lollies if needed.

@diddlediddle @Fitforforty @TeethingBabyHelp thank you all so much for your speedy replies. DD is sleeping very peacefully at the minute so I will let her be. Fingers crossed for a good nights sleep
