Looking for advice.
LO 6 months 2 weeks, bottle fed formula, used to be a 7-8 oz boy on every feed except dream feed.
My LO has in the last week gone right off his milk and it is getting worse each day. Today he would only drink 2 oz when he got up and refused any more. He is just starting out on solids and following bw we are on pear for breakfast and pear which I mix with a bit of baby rice for tea at the moment.
He has 2 oz at 7.30 am then 1 ice cube pear at 9.00 am then 2 oz of milk (9.30 ish probably by time sorted eating etc)
He then was due his next feed at 11.30 am but only drank 1 oz. Left him be as he wouldn't drink it and went for short walk in pram to see snow. At 1.00 pm he drank 3 oz. At 3.30 pm he drank 6 oz. For tea at 5.30 pm he has 1 ice cube of pear mixed with a little baby rice. At 7.00 pm he had 6 oz and fell asleep on me. He will have a dream feed at 1050 pm when he will drink 7 oz (think need to reduce this but he keeps waking at 5 30 am and don't want this to get earlier - he doesn't get upset for food just has a chat to himself and a scratch at bars of the cot and then goes back to sleep although this can take 30/45 mins)
He is beginning to drink milk not long before a nap you have probably noticed, I have as well but am bothered about him drinking enough.
Should I be changing his feeds? He begins drinking well but it doesn't last long and he is banging bottle etc then stops drinking and refuses when try to give more. Will sometimes have a bit more if we do something else and then come back to it, often do bum change and then come back. Does he need to go longer between feeds? Can't seem to find answers in BWAYP book!? He has always drunk a lot when first up in the morning but now he won't.
What is going wrong?
