    Try offering the smaller amounts more often.
    If she normally feeds every four hours offer her the smaller amount every two hours.
    You sound like you are doing a great job with her, it is so hard when our little ones are sick
    thanks RB will give it a go....

    i seem to be offering her food or drink all day!

    its full on thats for sure! call me naieve but i didnt realise how much hard work a sick bub is

    What about watery foods or ice blocks made with juice or frozen bits of fruit? It would soothe her throat a little and she would probably like that! Watermelon, oranges, soups....

    I was going to suggest if your worried try a hydrolite icypole, being younger you could prob get away with offering half of one every now and then?

    I was going to suggest ice blocks too. Jelly is the other thing that comes to mind for older kids, I don't know about it for a baby but if you are feeling desperate ... jelly is great on sore throats.

    I really hope she starts getting better soon. Are you getting much rest yourself?

    Yoghurt is her FAVE so I'm shoving it in at every meal!!

    Yep getting rest she is doing her usual 12-13 hrs a night and a good 3hrs during the day.

    Tonight she finally took 100ml bottle in one hit so that was exciting!!
    Fnally she seems a lot better!
    The afternoon nap seems to have been the turning point!
