5 month old not eating well

jordycakes

My 5 month old daughter is not eating much at all.  She was up to 6 oz every three hrs and now I'm lucky to get 3 in her.  She is acting normal.  She still spits up too after that small amount.  Anyone else with this?

Yep, DS2 was eating 5oz every 3 hours and the got a cold about 2 weeks ago and was eating around 3 oz. He's teething actually has 1 so this might also be the culprit. He's slowly getting back up to 5oz but spread it out to every 4 hours now.

My LO is like this as well. He usually eats 5-6 oz before bed and lately he has been taking about 3ish. I think teething is the culprit as well. Boo. Because of this he has been getting up in the middle of the night to eat. He usually STTN.

My LO cut two teeth in less than two weeks. The second one cut through this last Friday and we are just now getting back up to 6 ounces at each feeding.

I'm glad we are it the only ones but it sucks! At first I was worried but now I've been offering more frequent meals....we'll see how he does. Our lo was also sttn but now wakes up once or twice

This is our LO, too. I figured it was normal but it's nice to get confirmation!
