Hi

My 11month old DD has been very sick and has lost lots of weight which she could ill afford to loose being only a skinny minny to start off with:crying:

She is gradually getting back onto her solids, so far a bit of toast and a bananna. She is taking some breastmilk (I was weaning her and had her down to two feeds a day but am now unsure whether to up this (GOOSIE?!)). I got her some glucose to add to water to try and encourage her fluid intake.

She is however really weak, dosent have the energy to crawl or sit :( What can I give her to give her back her bounce? She is usually such an active bubby this is breaking my heart. I thought I might get some fish and give her that but I'd welcome any other suggestions. I want to avoid giving her a load of C**p if possible. Does anyone know if there is a baby equivilant of sustagen?

ANY IDEAS PLEASE......

Manxie,

I have noticed when DS gets sick he stops eating all together and looses weight. When he is recovering or recovered, he eats heaps to make up for it.

I would say that your DD will get her apetite back very soon. If your really worried, take her to your GP to see if they can reccomend something to get her strength back soon.

Goodluck! :hugs:
