Baby off her food at 10 months

[verds]

Oh wise people of the forum...

My baby had croup a week ago and hasn't really touched a solid since. She's now got a massive cold and cough.

She's having plenty of milk (bottle fed now), but doesn't fancy anything more. Plenty of wet nappies and, er, liquidy number twos.

Usually I don't mind if she doesn't take in too much in the way of solids - we're doing BLW and she was taking it slowly anyway - but a trip to A&E with croup has thrown me and maybe I'm worrying too much.

I tried her with an Ella's pouch today, but no joy. Not sure whether to be concerned as my older child used to eat everything at that age!

My daughter (13 months) always goes totally off her food when she has a bad cold. I found that yoghurt was always a winner and small bits of fruit she could feed herself or little chunks of cheese.

As long as she was drinking her normal amounts of milk I didn't try and get her to eat too much until she was visibly better. I have had to really train myself to do this however as I was always very concerned if she wasn't eating solids, as we had a bit of slow start to weaning.

Hope she feels better soon.
