My ten month old DD is almost completely refusing fluids. I've tried all sorts of bottles, cups, straws etc plus syringing and spoon, all sorts of different fluid options etc etc. In the last two days she has had about 120mls as a drink and anything else I have managed to get in has been via food. This seems to be a behavioural issue rather than secondary to an illness so I'm not quite sure what to do. Any tips? So far she is staying out of serious dehydration zone but I'm guessing that 60mls plus a bit in food each day won't keep us from that point for too much longer? |

| She has had a couple come through but I thought they had finished moving. We're off to the GP this morning as she isn't improving - more slowly getting worse! |

| She will probably be admitted to hospital later on this afternoon for tube feeding. She's been refusing all food and fluid now since this morning! |

Oh bugger, least you know they''ll get fluids into her. Maybe she's got an underlying bug so she doesn't feel well so she doesn't want to eat??
