eating less?

So the last few days LO seems to be eating less than usual. He's normally crying for food every 3 hours and gets 5 meals a day (morning and bedtime bottle and 3 solid meals). Yesterday SO fell asleep while playing with LO and Lo was suppose to eat, so he went from 10 to 230 without fussing for food. Today he went another four hours without fussing between breakfast and lunch and I fed him anyway and he ate half of what he normally does. Now he has been getting up around 8 rather than 5 for his first bottle; could that be why he's eating less since he's waking up later? He'll normally eat around 7 oz of solids (if it's pureed) and a 2 oz bottle and he just ate 4 oz with a 2 oz bottle and seems completely fine.

  • Like J said, just feed him as much as he wants, as long as he's not sick and gaining fine I wouldn't worry. It could be a number of things.

  • My LO's doing the SAME thing.  He was going gangbusters for awhile there, eating everything and anything in sight.  Finally slowing down now, and I'm thinking he might actually stay in 18 month clothes for more than a month!
