4/5 month eating and sleep completely off

Looking for some advice my little girl is 4 and half months.

She was pretty much sleeping from 7 till about 5am and was taking around 26-29oz a day every 3-4hours but the last few weeks or so she has completely gone off her bottle in the day and some days has only taken 15-19oz.

She is therefore waking between 10pm-12am for an additional feed which is fine but also can wake between 3 and 4am just wide awake. She is not hungry at this time and not particularly upset. She will eventually nod off till about 6am.

During the day she grazes on her bottles bites on the teat but then eventually takes around 3-4oz. She is no longer crying for a bottle and if I dont offer her a bottle regularly she can go 5-6hrs.

She is due to be weighed next week but so far has been very consistent with her weight. She has

I am not sure if she is teething which is why she is off her bottle as she is dribbling a lot and her hand is constantly in her mouth chewing. I cant see any teeth appearing.

If feels we have almost stepped backwards
And I am worried she is not taking enough milk in and concerned she may drop in weight.

Anyone else experiencing this or any advice would be much appreciated

:)

Thinking back I’m sure my little girl was the same around 4-5 months, lasted about two weeks. Think she was going through a developmental phase and was definitely teething, two teeth camebout of nowhere. Keep trying to feed as often as you can throughout the day but if you’re really worried speak to your health visitor. Maybe try some calpol before a feed and see if that helps.
