8 wk old with sluggish appetite

So this has been going on for 4 days now...he just doesn't really want to eat. He will take a full feeding (bottle) a few times a day but isn't really interested in the breast at all! Any advice? So when I am home w/him he goes many hours between feedings, but doesn't seem angry or fussy...just doesn't want to eat. Thoughts?

    Will he only take the bottle?  Like, if you're home with him all day and only offer the breast will he go more than 4 or 5 hours without eating?  If that's the case, maybe he's decided the breast is too much work and he'd rather wait for a bottle. 

    But I don't know how long you've been using a bottle or when he started this refusal (did it coincide?) so that thought might be moot.

    I think I figured it out! I looked in his mouth today and low-and-behold....A TOOTH!
