12 WO drinking less?

Hi

My 12 wo has always been a big eater, he’s been on 7oz bottles since around 8 weeks. However, since 11 weeks, he seems to be drinking less - more around 5oz bottles.

He is eating just as regularly, still has wet and dirty nappies, no fever, he’s his same happy self. Nothing has changed except that he’s drinking less.

Has anybody else experienced this? Is it because he’s finally slowing down his growth after spurts?

He’s on the 91st percentile for length and weight, so he’s a big lad.

Hiya, I think this can be quite a common age for babies to get distracted whilst feeding and their intake can be up and down, sorry it's not super useful but keep offering and baby should take what they need

Thank you for the reassurance! :)
