T always refuses food when sick. He still drinks milk and water but otherwise just eats a bite of this or that all day. It's so stressful! He had a bad cold and is on day 2 of a food strike.
Eta: he's 20 mos
-
Yes.
-
yes =( My 6 month old has had bronchiolitis/rsv for 1.5 weeks now and her weight is dropping. Yesterday was her first semi-good day because she finally broke over 20 oz of bm.
It causes me constant worry.
-
Yes, though this didn't start until recently. She usually makes up for lost time when she's recovered though!
-
My little one is like this. It took her a long time to gain weight back after she was sick around 12 months. Sometimes I wish I had this chickie's problems!! LOL
-
Yep. She refuses liquids, too.
19 months.
-
yes! he finally has a good appetite back this week after what seems like a month of picking.
-
Yes.
Have you tried smoothie popsicles?
-
Yep. I hate it but then I remind myself that I'm the same way. I've been really sick with GI issues for the past week and I've had no appetite...except for random things like Cheetos.
-
Mine just eats less. I think it's the congestion that makes it hard for him to eat (he's 6 months). So when he eats less, I try to nurse more frequently to make up for it (if possible).
-
Only when he has a fever or is teething pretty badly. Definitely stressful!
-
Yes, and we are just wrapping up an 8+ day stretch of the starvation sick kid diet. Driving me crazy!
-
He just ate some English muffin with pb! And I let him have oj which he thought was awesome!
