My 7 mths LO just had an allergic reaction yesterday. today, his fever n diarrhea hasnt gone away. since yesterday, his milk intake is abt 50ml every 4 hours instead of the normal 150ml every 3 hours and he refuses to latch. since he is having diarrhea, im worried he will get dehydrated. what can i gv to him to make sure he is well hydrated or are there any tips u can share to make sure he drinks his milk?

Try having more frequent feeds. It is expected that he will be drinking less for each feeding. So you can try nursing more frequently during this period. If he refuses to latch, perhaps can try feeding him with a spoon or from a cup. Take care mummy! Hope your little one feels better soon!!
