Are any of your babies losing interest in eating. Just noticed this a couple of times, he won't finish his 6 oz bottle and I bumped it up to 7oz of breastmilk lately. Yesterday when I picked him up from daycare the teacher said his last bottle he only drank 1 oz at first, then they offered to him again and I think he drank about 3-4 onces, because there was still 4oz in the bottle. When I got home I tried to give him the rest and he took about 2 oz. He ate his cereal and beans fine for me, but this morning, he stop drinking in the middle of his bottle and food and wanted to play. He's not fussy at all, just not interested in eating.

Wondering if he is teething, but I'm not sure. He's been putting his hands in his month and slobbing for months now.

Should I be concerned.

he could be teething. i think they also get distracted around that age. i know my LO will start to eat then all of a sudden pull off and be smiling and talking to the wall lol. especially if we are out . best is when he pulls off and squirts him self in the face. he thinks that's hilarious haha. if he doesn't seem fussy i wouldn't worry about it. he'll let you know if he's hungry, you could try to feed him in a quiet place where there is less distractions and see if that will help. im sure is probably just a phase.
