Baby lost appetite

Since yesterday my 20 week old has only been drinking half the amount he usually would. He usually has 4 8oz bottles in the day and a 5-6oz in the night. He's always been a very hungry baby and has grown fast, he's pretty huge, he weighs 20.5lbs and is very long.

Today and yesterday he will only take 4oz max at a time. So he is way under what he needs to be having.

Does anyone know why this could be? He's quite irritable also and won't let me put him down. No temperature. He's teething but can't see or feel any teeth under the gum. Had some wet nappies and 2 poos. Not as many wet nappies as usual though.

Hoping it's just a phase?? 🙁

Hello OP
I guess there could a cold on it’s way. My baby stops drinking a few days before the cold makes it’s appearance 😕

@reimah oh no, not another one! We've had so much illness recently.

Blimey, he weighs the same as my 16 month old DD 😂 (she’s tiny btw)

Agree with PP, sounds like he could be coming down with something!
