3 month old- refusing to feed

Hi mummies! My baby is turning 3 months in 3 days. These last 2 wks I noticed his hunger has reduced hence feeding frequence also changed from every 2 hrs, suddenly 4 or more hours. I’m just worried because he is suppose to eat more when growing instead of decreasing right? By the way, he is on formula. He seems to be happy and not fussy. It’s just that it’s a sudden decline of milk intake. When he was 2 month old he is drinking 3-3.5 oz every 2 hrs. Now he will drink the same but after every 4-5 hrs. If I give him early he will get fussy. #worryingmom #formula #advicepls

My baby is experiencing the same thing too 😭 Turning 3 months in 6 days. She used to drink 100ML every 2.5 hourly, then it decreased till 50~80ML every 3-4 hourly… For 80ML, sometimes she have to take 1.5 hours to finish 😵‍💫 She also started playing with the teat, biting or pushing it with her tongue then smiling…. Not sure if it’s a 3months thing😮‍💨

Oh same, he already started drooling and blowing raspberries with his saliva. And discovered putting his hands to his mouth. Was also thinking maybe he’s growing tired of the formula taste and I’m tempted to switch to another brand. But we don’t have any digestion issues with the current one so also having second thoughts. Sigh. Hope it’s just a phase and appetite still change again. Im just worried He was gaining slowly. 3 weeks ago he was 6kg. After yesterday’s visit, only gained .25. 🙁
