Anyone's LO not interested in eating?

I am EPing for DD and she's just not interested in eating!  Yesterday she ate around 17oz and today she has only eaten 13oz by 8pm.  She seems perfectly happy and content but is just not interested in eating.  She just doesn't seem hungry and doesn't care to eat. I am getting frustrated because I'm already struggling to keep her weight up and she just keeps rejecting the milk.  The dietitian I've talked to wants me to add powdered formula to her bottles to add calories but that's no help if I can't even get her to drink the bottles.  I just want her to eat and grow!  Has anyone else been in this situation?

    At about 3.5 months until recently DD just didn't want to eat during the day.  I attribute it to her being so alert and learning so much.  I nurse when I'm with her, and she just won't have it during the day.  She wants to look around and smile at me!  She does make up for it at night though, and she does much better eating then since it's quiet and dark and she's sleepy.  I don't know if this is the same issue with your LO, but you may want to try feeding at night or when LO is drowsy to see if she will eat more willingly then!?
