3month old, losing interest in feed...????

Hi, I have a DD who is 2yrs and a DS who is nearly 3 months old. My DS is usually very happy, however, I'm stressing a bit as he is eating less and less. He has been bottle feeding well for the last 6 weeks and usually has 6oz x 5 feeds and sleeps through the night (bliss!). Today, however, he had 5oz at 7, then 4oz after about an hour of feeding (started at 10.30), then at 2.30ish he only took 2oz. He is currently using a medium flow teat. After 1/2hour I thought I had nothing to lose and tried a fast flow. After a huge burp, he took 3oz pretty quickly and then howled as he was full of wind - maybe not such a good idea! Tonight he only took another 4oz. So all in all he has only taken 18oz instead of the normal 24 (I can see a few night awakenings happening tonight!).
He seems genuinely hungry before the feed but only seems to want about 2oz. Then he gets upset when he sees the bottle.... any ideas?
Am I worrying too much?

Could he have a cold brewing? I know mine lose their appetite if a lurgey is about to hit.
