Baby not taking enough feed

2022-08-12 16:43:21
My 4month old baby was usually exclusively breastfed but 2 days before she caught cough and cold due to which she is not taking feed properly from breast due to congestion of nose so I started giving her expressed breast milk as I noticed she is only having max 40ml of milk thrice daily. If forced she is going hey wire. Her birth weight is 2.5 and now she is 5kg. I'm very curious if she is not taking feed properly. Her urine pass is normal and she is bit slumber due to her illness. Giving her maxtra and ascoril drops with saline nasal drops. Thanks in advance.

Drinking less milk during illness is normal. She will drink normally when she is ok. Dont force or she will vomit. If she is passing urine and weight is ok, no need to worry.
