I freak out, he eats so little as it is. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-has-a-cold-and-wont-eat#post-1947396 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 11:50:36 +0000 mrbee 1947396@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@aegie: Ooh smoothie popsicles... great idea! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-has-a-cold-and-wont-eat#post-1947384 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 11:45:13 +0000 aegie 1947384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll make smoothies and turn them into popsicles. And I'll just push liquids and milk. I'll offer all of their favorites foods, even if it's hotdogs to get something in their stomach. Especially if they have a fever and I need to give motrin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-has-a-cold-and-wont-eat#post-1947145 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 10:02:42 +0000 LuLu Mom 1947145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just follow her and listen, I don't like to eat when I'm sick either so I take that into account and pretty much let her eat anything she asks for (within reason.) And I really push the fluids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-has-a-cold-and-wont-eat#post-1947023 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 08:49:57 +0000 rachiecakes 1947023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Push fluid and try not to be concerned if all he wants to eat are muffins, forzen yogurt or a poptart or something I wouldn't normally offer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-has-a-cold-and-wont-eat#post-1946883 Mon, 17 Nov 2014 00:56:58 +0000 Suzanne44 1946883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Same as above. My oldest will eat pouches, or a smoothie, and sometimes fruit. I find that milk makes him cough more when he is sick so we don't offer it before bedtime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-has-a-cold-and-wont-eat#post-1946858 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 23:34:33 +0000 Grace 1946858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine will still eat pouches even if she won't touch real table food. So that's basically a smoothie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-do-when-your-lo-has-a-cold-and-wont-eat#post-1946856 Sun, 16 Nov 2014 23:24:59 +0000 mrbee 1946856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've been dealing with colds on and off recently, and when the kids have a cold they just don't eat much. We basically roll with it, and try to make sure they get as many calories as possible in liquid form. Milk is usually our goto on that front, as the kids will drink quite a bit of milk even when they're not feeling well!</p> <p>What do you do when your LO has a cold and won't eat? </p>
