More Milk when ill . . . ???

[Lydiarose]

Oscars not very well and everytime he has solids he chokes because hes so phlemy

He is having 2 bottles a night and 3 - 4 in the day hes 11 months . . .

He ussualy has 3 a day and very rarely a few ounces at night.


So is it okay to give him extra milk as hes poorly? will it cause any problems?


thanks girls x

thats the recommendation for when anyone is ill baby or adult - more fluids keep you hydrated and its also pretty normal for babies to go off food while ill (lo has a cold atm so I'm in the same boat) and giving extra milk means that he's still getting important nutrition

My LO (10 months) has a cold and he's back up to five bottles a day. I'm sure it's normal, and temporary

My daughter is 20 months and refusing to eat because she is teething so badly so I am giving her an extra bottle.

Intresting! My Lo is poorly with a cold and he's had a lot of milk today, even refused his tea so I offered a bottle and he had 8oz so must of been hungry xx
