When to worry?

DD drank a total of 2oz while I was at work. I was gone for 6.5 hours, and when I got home she BF for 2o minutes then didn't seem interested in eating 4 hours later. She's peed okay, but barely wetting her diaper. She is acting fine though.

She usually eats 8oz (2- 4oz. bottles) while I'm gone at work for 6.5 hours. Should I be worried?

So she's only had 2 ounces in like 10 hours? Honestly, I would be worried.  But if she doesn't show any symptoms of being sick, I would see how she did through the night, and if she still didn't eat, call the Dr in the AM.

I would call the pedi's emergency line asap - but I'm a worrywart.  Did you take his temp?  Is he lethargic at all?  That is just too long to not eat imo.

Sounds like reverse-cycling.  She just wants to nurse from her mama instead of a bottle.  I wouldn't worry if she's acting normal.
