6 month Old not finishing bottles

Looking for advice or if anyone has been through similar situations.

My 6 month old is formula fed and has 8 ounce bottles 5 times a day. He has always finished or left a mouthful but the last 3/4 days every bottle he is leaving 3/4 ounces. We have left it an hour and tried again but he just fights the bottle. The other thing we have noticed is he is pulling his ears and the hair above and around his ears all the time - they might not be related could be a coincidence.

He hasn't been ready to wean onto foods yet so we don't know if he is just bored of milk or if there is something else it could be?

I'm just starting to worry he isn't getting enough milk for his growth/development so looking for any suggestions or advice on what it could be?

(First time mum so worried about everything all the time 🤪)

I would say it’s probably teething, may be worth popping some powder/gel on and then wait a bit to try again? x
