HELP Sick Kids

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Hi All,

I my twins have a cold.  I do not know how much liquid they have to drink.  The will only drink 4-5 oz of their bottles.  I tried chicken broth and DS drank some DD would not even try it.  She would not even drink apple juice.  I am not sure how much fluids they need and if I should be worried or if anyone knows what else I can try.  She ate about 2oz of applesauce and is eating cherrios.  That is all I have been able to get her to eat today.  Any advice would be great!  TIA

    Don't be so concerned about oz's.  Just watch for wet diapers.  She should have 3-4 wet diapers a day I believe is what the pedi told me.  Whatever is normal for her.  If she stops having wet diapers she is dehydrated!

    When DD was sick our pedi said that she needed about 15 ozs a day (DD was about 18 lbs).  There were a couple of days I don't think I even got 4 oz in DD!  She told me to give her pedialyte from a syringe.  It was a large syringe that you would give medicine in and I syringed in 10-12 oz of pedialyte and the next day got a little better, etc.  It is time consuming and I can't imagine having twins to care for, but it is worth a try.  Our pedi also said that applesauce counts and that is all DD would eat when she was sick.  GL!!
