Due to illness most children refuse to take oral feeding. Continue Breast feeding and slowly add regular food once and twice a days. In few days child will accept normal food. No need to worry

It is a little low but it was low at birth and is catching up slowly. Height is also important to know. If he is active, nothing to worry about. Eating less during illness is expected. He will start eating again after a few days. Continue BM and trying to give food.
