lo not eating like usual...

Mimii36

Shes not sick but Idk what's going on & it aggravates me. She normally drinks 5oz every 3hrs. Now its like she's not even interested. Im lucky to get her to drink 3ozs now. I have to fight with her to drink that. I took me an hour last night to get her to drink that She did this before but it only lasted a day. It has been a week this time! I hate forcing her to eat but if I let her "let me know" when she's hungry she will only be drinking about 3-4oz every 4hrs. That's much less than what she normally does. I'm used to her downing 5oz & still acting hungry. Why such a drastic change all of a sudden? Help.

My lo Is currently doing the same thing it's been going on for a month and a half already I've taken him to the doc multiple times because he always fights me they checked him for an ear infection or thrush but couldn't find anything wrong with him so the doc blamed teething. It started at 2 1/2 months and he is now 4 months.. Maybe your lo is possibly teething? It's so frustrating I'm going crazy I dread every feed.. He usually Eats 4-5 oz im lucky if he eats 2-3! I'm exclusively pumping so I've been wasting so much breastmilk:( I hope this little phase they are going through passes soon!!

My son too. Teething for him. Last night I put oragel in his mouth and he ate just fine. Try that or teething tablets see if it helps. I heard teething can hurt when the eat

My lo just turned 3 months and us doing the same thing for a week now. Usually eats 5 oz every 3 hrs and now he takes 2-3... I think it teething because he is drooling and constantly biting on his hands. I wouldnt be worried just yet, as long as your lo is peeing and pooping fine!

Thanks everyone. Teething seems to be the most probable solution. I just hope she stops soon. I hate wasting all this formula.

Mrz_Jackson

@Mrz_Jackson2anpreggo yes the cereal too! Jazmyah is chewing on her fingers a lot too. I guess I will start feeding her less amounts more often.
