Bronchilitis and Milk

Hi All

Well I paid my first real visit to the hospital this weekend with Dagan. He had been vomitting and feverish and very snotty since Friday and had a very bad night on Friday night. On Saturday evening I eventually got him to the hospital where he had x-rays and I was told he has Brochiolitis (not as bad as Bronchitis) While we were there Garryck started coughing and the doctor checked him out too. So I got medicine for both of them, and on Sunday I couldn't get out of bed as I was so sick. Anyway DH was a star, he let me sleep the whole day and took care of the boys.
Ok, so my question is - I asked the Doctor about giving Dagan milk as it creates quite a bit of phlegm, and she said I must mix half the amount of formula with water. So instead of 6 scoops in 150ml, I must only put 3 scoops in. Does this sound right?? I had given him Hydrol on Saturday, but that I could only do for 24 hours, and then was told he has to go back to formula. Has anyone else been told any other ideas??

shame poor baby. hope he feels better soon, hope you all feel better soon.
sorry no advise for the milk.

Thanks MOW - he was already full of beans yesterday, so definitely already on the mend.
He even slept well last night - thanks to EMPAPED!!!

I don't know formula, so can't help you, sorry.

But I'm glad he's sleeping a bit better and on the mend! How are you feeling?

I feel a bit off balance and I sound like Barry White, but I figured it would be more relaxing for me here at work than it would be at home with Dagan - (terrible mommy, I know!)

Hehehe.... at least you can spend some time on BT to get the day over with! Hope you're better soon!!!

Micheal had the same and was admitted. They change his formula to Lactose free and gave him lotts of Hydrol. I would rather say change to Isomil or NAN Lactose Free and keep with the Hydrol it won't do him any harm.
