Wondering if this us normal, or if we can encourage him to drink a bit more. DP looked after DS today, so he had nothing from me from 8am till lunchtime when we met up, & then until 7pm.
Normally during that time he'd have at least two good feeds, possibly more. I left some expressed milk - apparently he wasn't interested in the morning, took some enthusiastically around 4 pm when offered, but only drank about half the bottle (just over 2 ounces, which I'd expressed yesterday).
Was thinking about leaving him for the whole day in a couple of weeks time, but if he's not going to take much milk then thus seems too long. Can we encourage him to take a bit more? An ounce doesn't seem like it's worth the hassle of expressing at his age.
