Is my DS just not hungry?

Baby J has been going to bed at 8 and getting out of the crib for the day around 7am. He wakes up one time between 1 and 3 for a bottle. Tonight he woke up at 2. I changed him and tried to feed him his bottle. He drank one ounce and fell asleep, so I put him back down. Woke up again at 5:15 with a poop diaper. I changed him and assumed he was hungry bc he didn't eat his motn bottle yet so I made another. He drank one more ounce and passed out. Now he won't drink anymore. Is he slowly weaning himself off the night feedings? And if so, how do I keep him asleep? Or what do I do when he wakes? Stop offering it?

I can't see how old he is but he's still newborn right? I wouldn't change what I was doing after one night out of norm but if he does it again he might be wanting to drop a feeding. Does he take a paci? If so maybe offer that and see if he just goes back to sleep?

Yeah, I won't stop immediately.  I just think he was acting strange.  Lately he has only been drinking half of the night bottle, so maybe he is slowly cutting himself down from it

He's 11 weeks.  Tonight I'll follow his cues and see what he does
