Our 8 week old has his first day care cold. We are on day 4 and following the doctors instructions his congestion has greatly improved. However he's gone from eating 4-5 oz bottles to eating 1-2 ounces. Is this normal?

I am definitely not a doctor but R has her first cold and was eating less as well for a couple of days. It was definitely a fight to get her to finish a bottle. Hope your LO feels better soon!

At around that age my son had RSV. He went from eating 4-5 ounces a bottle to 1-2. The doctors weren't concerned as long as he was eating something. After a few days, he was back to normal.
