4 months old drinking lesser than before

Hi mummies, my baby just turned 4 months old and is mostly formula fed. Her usual feed per day is approx. 600+ ml (100-120ml x 6 feeds) prior which i noticed is already lesser than advised. Currently, she is drinking even lesser and cannot even finish a 120ml bottle in a single feed (can only drink 50-60ml each time). Feeds these few days only amounted to 600ml or lesser. Wondering if anyone has this issue too?

Same i had to same issue too with my bb from 3.5 months. Sometimes he only drank 500 the entire day. He was doing this for almost 2 weeks.. Was getting very worried still thought maybe he dont like the milk but then he suddenly pick back up and now drink about 650-700 per day. I can only guess that it’s a phase.

yes same here. i heard that it's normal. babies can see further and are more distracted w the surroundings, sometimes causing them to drink less. my baby gets so mesmerized w his fingers sometimes, that it gets in the way of drinking milk
