7 week old drop off today

Anything to be worried about? 7 week old has been averaging 815ml a day over the last week and regularly polishing off 130ml at feed time.

Today she’s not had more than 95ml a feed and is only on 500ml for the day. Looking at the chart on huckleberry it’s a massive drop off!

Monitor over the next few days? We feed on demand but she screams for a feed and then has 35ml. Not had this at all before

Should say this has come out of nowhere.

she takes 35ml and then screams like crazy. Burp her and offer it again and then she has two sucks and spit it out.

can colic turn up like this? Or reflux?

My daughter was breastfeed but she did exactly this because of silent reflux. At its peak she breastfed for 5-10seconds every 1-2h totalling 1-2minutes during the day and 3-5 minutes a feed totaling 10-20 minutes overnight
Trying to make sure she was calm helped, getting her settled cuddled lying down and then doing a lying down feed. There was one dark day where we had to bath her followed by skin to skin to get her to feed - meaning we were both naked wrapped in a towel lying on the bathroom floor. I laugh now when I look back!
My daughter has food allergies which made her reflux worse but has reflux separate from food allergies which still causes her issues aged 4. She needed a combination of omperazole and gaviscon to get it under control.

It might be worth looking at thickeners for the formula and speaking to the GP about a trial of omperazole - although do be warned whilst they adjust it can make the reflux worse as the body fights against the medication
