My boys are eating less...what does that mean?

For the past 2 months they have been eating about 5-6 oz.  about every 3 hours.  Well the past week and 1/2 they started eating less like 4 oz. or less every 3 hours.  I thought maybe that they just weren't hungry enough to eat every 3 hours anymore so I pushed 2 of the 5 feedings to 4 hours.  Nope they aren't eating anymore, in fact the one is now only taking 3 oz.  Anyone else experience this?  Was it just a phase?  I am sure I should call my pedi to find out her opinion but I just thought I would ask around.

    We're going through that now too.  I'm taking DS for his four month appt today so will be asking pedi about it.  Someone told me it could be a sign of teething.  Others have said that they just get more distracted at this age as they're more aware of their surroundings.

    We're going through the same thing. Covering him or taking him into another room works sometimes; other times it just doesn't matter what we do, he's too aware of everything around him and doesn't eat as much.
