4 month old not feeding as much/sleeping terrible

[StanIvorsma]

Hi
My little one is just four months and used to take 6 5/6oz bottles in a 24 hour period. Over the last week he's refusing some feeds and his sleeping has got worse, if that's even possible. He's had bouts of screaming/crying and has been almost impossible to settle. I had thought colic but as his age? His pooing has gone down to one every two days or there abouts.

He's fine in himself most of the time and is happy and smiling. His normal self really.
I'm perplexed as if he showed signs of being unwell at least a trip to the GP could have shed some light.

This is baby 2 and I've never experienced this with baby 1 before

Could be the 4 month sleep regression. Hopefully if it is that then it will pass soon!

Would the regression make him take less milk too? And generally at times inconsolable?x

Mine is similar. Turned out to be reflux. Solved by gaviscon but now we have constipation issues!

Teeth? DS 1 was really fussy on the bottle for a while whenever he had ones coming through.
