12wk old suddenly a nightmare during the day

Ds4 has been great until 3 weeks ago when he suddenly wouldn’t settle to sleep and reduce his feed by half. He still sleeps well at night but daytime is draining. He would take 3-4 oz then scream when I offer him more and get himself into state then pretty scream up until he falls asleep for 30min then again would only take 3-4 oz and the circle continues. He is very big boy born 10punds and used to take 6-7 oz every 3-4 hrs. However I’m not sure he is lacking the food otherwsise he would be up feeding at night but just can’t get him back into a happy daytime boy. Changed his teat to 3 month as well but no change
We think he is also teething but wouldn’t explain the not eating bit and again the nighttime sleep
Any suggestion appreciated

I think you’re absolutely right @Mumof3cheeky, if he was hungry he probably wouldn’t be sleeping so well at night Smile

Does he take the 3 to 4 floz, Nap for half and hour and feed again all day?

Thanks Jilted, no he would literally cry most of the day. Sounded like a frustrated cry too so I’m guessing it was a wave of teething and also a combination lack of routing due to summer holidays. Now that the brothers are back at school I stayed at home and focused on putting him to sleep in his room and today was great. Far less crying lots of interaction and full feeds after 2-3 weeks of misery. Such a relief Smile
