hi hun! Not a silly question at all, its always worrying when theyre ill. i find myself checking jack constantly at night when he's a bit under the weather. that sounds totally normal hun, i always go off my food when im poorly too! She'll be ok, just maybe offer her a little extra cooled boiled water and keep an eye on her, dose her up with calpol too will make her feel a lot better! if she doesnt perk up in a couple days maybe ring the doctor but as long as she is still feeding i dont think youve got much to worry about xx o yeah u can always ring NHS direct theyre really good 0845 4647 xx

Hiya my little one had a bit of a snuffly nose and it didnt concern me too much because i know there have been colds going round and with the weather changing so much its kinda difficult not to catch a cold. I did take him to docs and i was given nasal drops which i rarely used. He was quite sleepy and didnt eat much either. He wasn't crying tho and was still pretty content even when he did spew nearly all the milk he just ate. I think it is quite common for babies to loose their apetite and be quite sleepy. If your really are concerned go see your health visitor or GP.
