DD has only had 12 ounces FF all day..

She's had a runny nose with no fever for a couple days but today she's only eaten 1.5 bowls of oatmeal this morning and 3 small bottles totalling only 12 ounces.  She also had diarreha yesterday pretty bad.  I'm worried about dehydration.  Any ideas?  Should I be worried or call the pedi?  I'm thinking I'll wait and see how she does tomorrow.  Maybe run out for some pedialyte.  Although, so far, unless it's formula in a bottle, she won't drink it.  We'll see I guess.  I'm just worried.

Try some pedialyte especially since she had diarrhea.  If she won't take it in the bottle, use a medicine dropper to give her some. 

Have you been running a humidifier in her room?  That may help her breath easier. 

I hope she feels better soon.

Yes, we've been using the humidifier and it's helped.  I"m not so worried about the cold she has as I am about the possible dehydration.
