Heya girls,

LO was working his way up in ozs, and 10 days ago was clearing 6oz bottles 6 x a day.

Since tues hes decided that he cant drink any more than 4oz, and refuses the rest.. sometimes 20 mins later i can get another ounce in him, but only if Im lucky

any reason why he would just decide he wants less? hes gone from 30oz a day to 20+

Im stuck for answers!
 
maybe he has been having a big growth spirt and now seattled down a bit. i did read that babys feeding does seattle down after awhile. Maybe get him weight a few times and make sure he is still gaining weight and go from there. sorry i not been uch help
 
Can't help I'm afraid because I'm in exactly the same boat!!! Eve was drinking at least 30oz a day - sometimes 35.. Now, and for the past week or so has dropped right down to between 23-28. She's still sleeping 12 hours at night so she obviously isn't hungry.

I think, like the lady before said, I will get her weighed more often and as long as she's gaining weight and happy then I guess it's just one of those things!

I think they do go through hungry and non-hungry periods so maybe just go with it. :flower:
 
Thanks girls, least its not just me! yup, think I will get LO weighed this week! Thanks!
 
This happened with Evie at around the 3 month mark too. She was taking 30oz per day most days but dropped down to about 23oz. I also wondered why but never found out :shrug:
It does get better tho, but it might take some time for his appetite to increase again. It's only been the last few weeks that Evie has started taking more again, I upped her bottles (she has 5 bottles per day) from 5ouncers to 6ouncers a few weeks back. Last week I had to up them again as she was draining them, so she's now on 5 7oz bottles per day so is well over the 30oz per day again :)
