    We've been dosing her up on nurofen and she will drink water afterwards (not much, but a few sips is better than nothing!) Still nothing for the bottles though. We were thinking a sore throat too cos she cries after she has a cough.

    She still has lots of tears though - thats the only thing changed about her behaviour - she's whingy like the other two now.. LOL

    ETA - forgot to add - she is still eating, bout half of what she normally consumes.

    I don't think it's time to take her to the doc's/hospy yet then. Maybe if you can get an appointment tomorrow?? If she's eating and still active (though whinging!) she sounds like shes doing ok to me...just off colour. Try to up her fluids with juicy kinds of food? Fruit/veggies/soups...

    Maz - I gave her 1.5 tubs of yoghurt today, so she has had something today, but not much else. Few sips of water. Still no go on the formula, so she hasn't had any again today. Her poo is no longer like a baby poo, but like .. well.. like mine!!! LOL

    We've tried a few times tonight, and even dosed her up with panadol and SM33 before we tried her bottle, but no good, she just screams.
