Distracted feeding?!?

Hi 👋🏻 first time posting 😬 I’m a first time mum to a 17wk old baby boy… struggle with anxiety quite a bit so trying to reign it in here…
last few days baby boy has been fussy eating and only taking 60/70ml at a feed which has me at lots of feeds! Today has been the same and we’ve got to the evening and he’s had half his usual milk intake. He doesn’t usually fall asleep till 10pm ish so still time to get more milk in but I have no idea what’s going on. Anyone have any similar experience or advice? For context he went to a wedding Friday for 4ish hrs so was a bit out of sorts the next day, has been drooling a lot today and has been a pretty happy boy in himself sunday and today 🥰 really trying to not over think this and panic… also just bought the next teat size up incase it’s that?!?

Bumping for you - no advice sorry. Hope he is ok. There is an infant feeding board you could try posting on.

Just trying to understand , are you giving more feeds because he is only taking small amounts?

My little boy had always been fussy and he will only take a full feed if he's properly hungry.
If you are doing lots of snack bottles, he may not be hungry enough to have more at a time.
