Baby suddenly not having as much milk?

[Megan1995]

Hi

My 8 week old has been having 180ml every 3 and a half hours. The past 2 days or so he has suddenly not been having as much, just down to 90-120ml and getting hungrier and more upset quicker.

Any ideas what’s wrong and why the sudden loss of appetite? He has been getting sleepy while at the bottle sometimes too

Hi Megan

How are his nappies? Does he have a temp or seem unwell at all?

He has a poop today and he’s had wet nappies. He doesn’t have a temp or seem hot at all and no he seems genuinely quite happy. He’s had a couple nights with bad sleep as well.

Glad to hear he doesn’t seem poorly!

It might be worth speaking to your HV?

Sometimes my LO needs to burp and that can make him reject the bottle - but once it’s up he goes straight back! Could it be wind?
