E used to drain all of his 6 oz. bottles, but for the past couple of weeks it's been a total battle to get him to drink even 5 ounces, sometimes 4.
i had signed it off to the snottiness he was having, but now that's subsided a little bit (not 100%), he's still fighting the bottles. he'll start off sucking it down, then when i stop to burp him, he's no longer interested. i tried just not burping him, & he still got disinterested about halfway through.
we started cereal last week, and he's doing fine with it, but of course his real nutrition should be coming from the bottles.
anyone else's LO not eating as much as they used to?? it's starting to stress me out, but he doesn't seem upset or anything.
Re: anyone else's LO less interested in eating now?
We had the same problem with DS and I changed his nipple size and he became a better eater. Before it would take an hour to finish one bottle. But I also think they are more distracted by their surroundings now.

We're definitely going through this right now. It's such a struggle to get him to eat, especially when he's not tired but it's time to eat! He gets SO distracted and just has no interest.
He's still gaining weight somehow and is so content and sleeps pretty well ... so we're not letting ourselves stress out about it!
