5 month old FF schedule/amount

[AmyLV]

My boy has always been a really good eater and regular with feeds etc but recently he's been so fussy with his bottles. It just seems like he isn't as hungry or interested in his milk anymore. Quite often now he will push the bottle away so I remove it immediately but obviously this means he's not getting as much milk as he was. He will be 6 months on in a week or so so will be starting weaning but am worried all the same as he won't actually be eating very much in the way of food for a while. He's about 22lbs now.

How many oz do your 5/6 month olds take per day and across how many bottles?

Has anyone else been through this?

Could he be teething? I'd try teething gel before a feed.

He's definitely teething on and off. Have been using the gel and done days it seems to work and others it makes no difference 😩

Have you tried a faster teat? Might be bored with the flow! At 6 months my DD was having 5x6oz bottles in a 24 hour period but she was tiny, about 13lb at that age. Your DS weighs more than my DD now and she’s 19 months old 🤣
