Eating: you may possibly be overfeeding the child. The most important thing is child is having several wet diapers daily. Children often do not want to eat as much when they are sick also so keep an eye out for symptoms of a cold. try measuring how much she is eating in a day and keeping track for your doctor.

Feeding: If you are starting some baby cereal and or baby solids, they often will not take as much formula as before. As long as she urinates/stolls everyday and weight gain continues without any other symptoms, this is probably in the normal range and can be observed. Welcome to health tap, Dr. Ivy Fisher
