not eating enough

[Mrs Mc]

Neither of my girls eat enough but the past two days they have had no appetite (have had jabs so not sure if this is why). They normally take 4 or 5 oz but have only been having 2 or 3 and they completely missed a feed this afternoon so havent actually eaten for 5 hours. I had them weighed before their jabs and although they had put on weight they had dropped a little on the graph so even before their jabs they werent eating enough.
They never cry from hunger, apart from their one night feed. There also sleeping alot and I dont know if this is because they have no energy or they are having a little growth spurt/ reaching a milestone. Any advice or anyone gone through similar?

I'd say 4-5 ounces for their age is enough, my lo still only takes that amount and has 6 bottles a day. If they're gaining weight, they're doing fine Don't worry about the graph, I hate that damn graph LOL, they all flucuate some back and forth through growth spurts and then leveling out.

My lo is always a bit fussy after getting her shots (she'll sleep more, usually takes a LONG nap after we get homes from getting them, and eats a bit less. Do they seem uncomfortable at all when they're awake? You can try some infant tylonal (or whatever is comperable where you are). I give lo the Tylonol actually before I take her for the shots and it helps a lot.
