all was going well, we had a mixture of blw and spoon feeding yoghurts and her prune/porridge for breakfast. Then she seemed to want to use the spoon herself, so have encouraged that, although she barely gets anything in yet, despite using the angled spoons.

The last few days though she has barely eaten much either by herself, me spooning it in, or her. Then when i give up she pats her belly telling me she's hungry. She might be teething, or coming down with something.

But, how much, or little, food can a baby survive on? She has 3 bottles a day, 210ml morning and evening and 90ml topped with water in the afternoon. She rarely finishes the first or last bottle.

If she's active, alert and sleeping ok then roll with it for a bit. Make sure she's well hydrated and weeing. Keep offering food at meal times, not too many sweet snacks.
