Temporary feeding aversion is likely due to her cold. Nasal congestion often makes sucking uncomfortable.
400 mL of milk is at the lower acceptable limit but can be acceptable if she's getting adequate solids and hydration.
Night feeding being easier is also typical during illnesses.
Weight gain is actually on track—tripling birth weight by 1 year is expected, and she's already close.
Recommendations:
1. Relieve nasal congestion – saline nasal drops before feeds, upright position.
2. Keep offering small, frequent feeds – don’t force milk, mix into cereals, porridges, etc.
3. Hydration – continue offering sips of water; flavored fluids like vegetable soups can help.
4. Monitor weight and urine output – if weight gain stagnates, consult pediatrician.
