LO eating less at 12 weeks

So LO hit 12 weeks right in the middle of the holidays; I can't tell if it was the holiday hullabaloo or a wonder week, but he was way fussier than normal. At the same time, he started to have tummy problems to his Enfamil. So I switched him to the Gentle Enfamil and he seems bette on that. However, since 12 weeks he has gone to eating about 2/3 of his normal intake. He went from ~30 oz a day to ~20 oz.

I'm wondering if this due to a wonder week or the formula change?! We see his doctor next week, but I was wondering if anyone else's babies have done this.

Eta - he is still peeing and pooping fine

  • I'm going through this as well. Went from 4oz/3 hours to forcing him to consume at least 2oz/4 hours.

  • Mine did the same thing! She also started day care that week so her schedules way off. Ill be lucky if i can force 4 ounces in the am. Then she take about a 3 to 4 hour nap at day care. She gets 6oz there. And when we get home shell have another 4 oz around 5 then again at 7. Around 10 she does 5oz and 4 around 3am. She was doing 4 oz every 2 hours!
    I figure if shes still gaining enough weight i wont worry
  • Mine went from 30 oz to 24 oz per day. He is really high on weight charts, so we let him set his feeding schedule.
