Can someone help please - baby not taking her milk

[HLS]

My LO is 6 months old and four days ago she got a cold. It began with a runny nose and now shes got a cough. When she breaths I can her her bunged up and at night her breathing is quite fast. She normally has 5 x 210mls a day of milk formula. Yesterday she took half her usual amount and today again took so far 2 x 100mls (its 16:40 and shes normally had 630ml by now)). She just had a bottle and vomited it all up (not just the normal bit of spit up). Should i call the doctor? Also on her head half way from the crown to the front it goes in?? Should i give her water and how much?? Can someone help me please as my other half is away and im on my todd.

Hmm I would call NHS24 and see what they say, it does sound like she is a little dehydrated so as she is 6 months maybe a little cooled boiled water would help but to be honest I'm not sure. I would ask the doctors and see what they say.

Sorry I haven't been much help.

cooled boiled water is fine to give hun and shes off her milk simply because she doesnt feel well i wouldnt worry too much of she is off her milk just try and give her a little water inbetween feeds hope she feels better xx
