Our (almost) 4 year old seems to be feeding less and is a bit uninterested in his bottles.
He's always been a big boy and was on 4oz bottles 6 times a day from birth. We had reflux and wind issues but he seems to have grown out of it all now.
By this stage I would expect him to be taking 7oz bottles (has dropped his 4am feed so only getting 5 bottles a day), and he did go up to this for a while, draining all bottles, but has dropped down again.
His biggest bottle is his midnight one, he will take 7/8 Oz .
For his morning bottle I would expect him to be starving but he will take a max of 4 Oz, today was only 2oz.
Midday is always the worst, couple of ounces, seems like he couldn't care less. Cries like he is hungry, will fussily (wriggling, spitting out) take a couple of ounces then just wants his dummy.
4pm and 8pm vary, usually takes between 5 and 7oz.
So when you add it all up it doesn't seem like he's getting enough to me but he also doesn't seem bothered by it. He's a very happy, active, chatty (babbling) baby and if I wasn't counting ounces it wouldn't even cross my mind he wasn't getting enough.
At his last check they noted he was still gaining weight but had dropped a centile so he should be taking more milk, but I just can't get it in to him.
Has anyone any suggestions, been through this, or just think I'm overthinking?
Thanks
