Is this normal?

I'm a FTM and DS is 14 weeks old and here lately he only wants to take a bottle 4 times a day. We give him 6 ounce bottles. Is this normal? He was taking 5 bottles but at times wouldn't take the whole bottle. Overall he is a happy baby. Just didn't know if I should be worried.

May want to call your Pedi just to be safe. I wouldn't worry. As long as he pees, eats, and sleeps normally, he should be fine. My LO just started back eating more. He had a few weeks where he wanted to sleep more or was just satisfied. Now, he's back and then some..

Just keeps tabs on it. Weigh him. Also, as long as he's not loosing weight, he's probably ok.

I'd say it's probably pretty normal, especially where it's bigger feedings at one time. If you were only doing 4 oz each feeding, he'd obviously take more bottles. We're just about 5 months and taking 6-8 oz (depends on him) 5-6 times a day. He dropped his ounces a week or two ago, where he was only eating 5 oz or less 6 times a day, but he was getting lotsss of wet diapers. Just let him lead and if you don't feel comfortable with something, it definitely doesn't hurt to call your pediatrician.

Is baby breastfed or formula fed?

He is formula fed

I think 24 ounces for a 14 month old is normal. I would be grateful for fewer feedings, especially if he is happy.

Oops- 14 weeks. That wouldn't be enough for a 14 MONTH old.
