Baby wont finish bottles anymore

[huggybear]

My LO is nearly 5 months old and this past week he has had a cold so hasnt really been interested in drinking his milk, Dr said its because he will be uncomfortable trying to breath and drink at the same time whilst being bunged up, true to Drs word LO wouldnt really drink that much, anyhow he is now better since the weekend but he still wont drink his usual 8oz bottle, today for instance he has eaten like only 9oz since 7 this morning. I will dreamfeed him in the next hour and see what happens, is this the norm though, he is now totally clear of the cold and would of thought the greedy baby that he normally is would of been back, i am confused, is this normal?

This might sound like a stupid question but it helped me when someone mentioned it... maybe he is ready for the next teat size?
Poppy really lost interest but when she moved to size two it really made a difference! Sorry if I'm stating the obvious but I was unaware of the difference it could make xx
