DD almost 7 mths. BLW going well, but now has a cold & chesty cough, and doesn't seem interested in solids at all. Luckily still taking 20oz milk daily. I realise "it's just for one until they're one!", but should i still sit her at her high chair and offer her things even though she's not bothered? Anyone else expereienced this??

IME, just keep her hydrated. As long as she's taking plenty of fluids - and milk is the best way - she won't starve for the duration of her cold. Poor you & her. I remember when dd1 was in the same boat, we made her up a bottle of milk and she beckoned it to her, because she couldn't yet speak. Good luck and hugs for you both.
