| Why would DS stop eating as much?
Ds is 4 months this week. He has always had a hearty appetite and has been sleeping through the night for a couple of months.
I normally would feed DS 6 oz. bottles but last week he was clearly still hungry after his bottles, so I increased his formula to 7 oz. and he was happy with that.
Now, the past couple of days, he isn't finishing his bottles. Infact, he seems to only want about 5 oz. at each feeding - even after sleeping 8 hours at night!
My question is - why would he suddenly stop eating as much? He doesn't have a fever and seems happy. I was worried he wasn't feeling well but it doesn't seem to be the case.
Oh, he is also taking longer naps during the day - something he never really did before. He used to cat nap here and there, but now he sleep for 2 hours in the morning and a couple hours throughout the afternoon.
Another question - Do they loose their appetite when they begin to teeth?
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks!
