Thoughts on FF baby refusing bottle?

DD hasn't been eating well, or I guess drinking well, the past few days. Today she only took 7oz, two at the first three feedings and one at the last. She is eating solids fine. We have already moved to a level three nipple. She doesn't have any teeth yet and could be teething but honestly I don't see any other signs. Ideas?

    Could be teething, congestion, or ear infection.

    When my LO is teething he hardly eats any bottles. He will eat solids fine but refuses the bottles. When I see this happening I make him some really runny oatmeal with lots of formula to help keep up his intake.

    My LO was doing the same thing, so we did move up to level 4 more so that she eats the bottle quicker. So if it makes sence, on level 3 she'd eat for 3 mins let's say and stop, so only gettig 3'oz. So with level 4 she's eating the same 3 minutes but finishing the bottle. KWIM? I'm not sure why she is eating like this now and all I can guess is teething as well though I don't see any other signs. HTH
