DS has no appetite!

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months

DS hasn't been willing to take a bottle since we got home around 2 this afternoon (5 hours)... he SCREAMS and cries when I try to get him to take the bottle, but he's otherwise in a good mood (willing to be in the jumperoo, willing to let me read him a story, willing to take a bath, etc.)...

My question is, how long should I wait before I start to worry?  He's 5 and a half months old.  Also, we do have pedialite and can give it to him with a medicine dropper?  They gave it to us when DS was in the hospital for a cold a few weeks ago. 

Thanks in advance!  I'm not sure if I ought to be worried... I don't want him to get dehydrated!

Dear God, Since I couldn't hold my little one in my lap and tell him about you, could you hold him in your lap and tell him about me?

    I wouldn't be super concerned either.  DD has a mild cold and only ate about 8 oz all day yesterday.  Also, if he is teething it could cause him to cut back.  They say that the sucking motion bothers them at this time... just keep an eye on it.  As long as he is having wet diapers you're ok.
