Both did well with the rehydration fluid so started them on formula both did very well for first 3or 4 days until yesterday the brother started refusing to eat as the sister is still eating just fine. The brother seems to sleep a lot as well recently. When I wake him up and get him out he still seems very active and still has been peeing and pooping. I'm not sure what to do about him refusing any fluids. I've tried to offer banana and small pieces of Apple just to try and get something into his stomach besides a couple drops of Pedialyte here and there that I can get him to take. Not sure what to do now.
