17 week old gone off food

[honeybee72]

Hi there, I am sure I am being a paranoid mum, but in the last few days my 17 week old daughter has gone off her food. We usually give her 6oz milk 5 times a day, which most of the time she guzzles down. However, for the past 2 days she hasn't taken all of her bottle, sometimes only taking 3 oz. She is happy and healthy. Just wondering what might be causing this?

Could have been having a growth spurt before?

maybe. It's just quite unlike her. Even without a growth spurt she was still taking between 27-30 oz, but today she has only had 22. Maybe I should stop counting!

i would! I did that and got a bit obsessed! If you were bf you wouldnt know how MUCH she had drank just how LONG she had. That why it annoys me when hv etc go one about a certain amount should be drunk coz you cant say that to a mum who is bf!!

very true! As long as she is happy and healthy, that's the most important thing. And she's putting weight on. Just trying to get her to sleep at the moment - bit of a night owl, but that's a completely different story!
