baby not drinking

i have 2 issues here. 1) my 2.5 mths old girl has been on bottle feed (breast milk) till 2 weeks ago we decided to latch her when she woke up in the middle of the night for milk. gradually she rejected bottle and only want to be latched. my wife is returning to work soon and this wont work out. this has been for more than 1 week. 2) most worrying. she dont seems to be hungry. even when sometimes she accept bottle, it would be like 60-80ml, rejecting the remaining. and it can be like 4 hrs interval. wont she feels hungry or likely her stomach is full of gas which makes her feel full? yes she still pee and poo regularly and sleep well. any suggestion/advise?

i had the same (2) issue as u too. my baby didnt seem hungry at all and just kept sleeping, when she latches she only latched for 1-5minutes. brought her to the PD because she didn’t poop for 11 days (fully breastfed). the PD said babies will cry if they are hungry.. and PD also commented she doesn’t seem like a hungry baby, and that she’s probably regulating her milk intake and didn’t need so much then. after hearing that i worried less. but now my baby is 3months+ gg on 4months and her weight percentile is falling, from 50-75th percentile to 25th percentile… so i’ll probably bring her to the PD again for further advice
