My LO is 8 weeks and the last few days he has been eating less. He is FF and usually takes 4-5 ounces every 3-4 hrs. However yesterday he took a full bottle in the morning but then only 2 ounces 3 hrs later. Another ounce an hour after that.

Later he took 4 ounces but its bitty all day. He's happy in himself but sometimes going 4-5 hrs without a feed. He had his last feed of 5 ounces last night at 8pm. Seemed hungry at 10 but had half an ounce and went to sleep. He's still asleep now and its 6 am!

Shoukd I be worried? He's probably having 20 oz in 24 hrs . But was having more

20oz in 24 hours sounds fine to me. My DS is also 8 weeks and has 4oz at a time - he'd never manage 5oz in one sitting!

Do you know roughly how much he weighs?

@JiltedJohnsJulie not sure at the moment. But got his 8 week check Thursday
