Baby reluctant to take bottle

Hi, my baby is nearly 6 months old and over the last few days has been massively reducing the amount of milk she's taking. Today so far she has only had 13oz all day. We've not yet started weaning. Has anyone experienced anything similar?

That’s not a lot at all. How much does she weigh OP? Is there anything else going on? Has she got a temperature?

She should be having roughly 2.5 floz of formula per pound in weight in 24 hours. With that in mind, I’d take her to the GP today and get them tgem to check her ears, throat and tummy.

Has she been weighed recently too? Is she following her centiles?

If she’s having such a small amount of formula, you’ll need to give a multivitamin on the days she has less than 20 floz?

One other thing to talk to the GP about is the possibility of anaemia Smile
