10-month-old refusing afternoon bottle but taking feed at 11pm

He's been refusing the afternoon one (2.30/3pm) for a while so I've been concerned that he's not getting enough milk. He's been teething for weeks and yesterday cried all evening so after trying all the pain relief we could give him, I offered him a bottle. (He hasn't fed in the night for months.) He drained it. Tonight we tried the bottle again and he drained it again.

This new late feed definitely hasn't led to the refusal of the afternoon one, but is there anything I can do about this new pattern or shall I just hope it's one of those little blips that will disappear as quickly as it came?

Does he have one at bedtime?

My dd sometimes had extra night feed while teething (think it was for comfort)

Yes his 'last' feed of the day is at 6.30/7. I should probably just go with it and assume he'll drop it when he stops teething, huh?

It's just the combination with the dropped afternoon feed that got me thinking.
