16 weeks baby feeding 120 ml formula milk! Help

[julia02]

Hi, there! I don't know if sm else is at the same situation. My baby is not drinking too much milk, just 120 ml every 3 hours during the day. In the evening she is refusing to be feed. I'm so worried. During this time she was taking 180 ml milk every feed. Tomorrow, I will book an appointment at GP...Please, help me with any advice! Many thanks.xxx

What size teat is she using? DS dramatically dropped feeds around that age and it was because we were still using size 1 teats and he couldn't be arsed! Went up to size 2 and back to normal.

How much does she weigh and how much formula is she having in 24 hours?

Try to go on what she is having over 24 hours - how much is she drinking at night?

When my babies have been sick I've always been assured that as long as they are drinking at least 50% of their normal amount and are producing wet/dirty nappies throughout the day then not to panic.

Four months could be teething - mine have also often drunk less during these times, so try not to worry.

It might also be that she is simply not thirsty enough to drink lots every three hours at this age. When my DD was four months I put her on a four hour schedule.

Good luck at the GP.

Thanks for your suggestion. 4 days before she was taking 180 ml each feed. I talked to health visitor, who suggested to give some water. She explained that this situation may be from hot weather.
