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

Hi mummies, just an update on this. Since I posted, I did a little troubleshooting on what is causing my baby to reject his milk. First, I change the milk teats to a bigger one from number 2, to number 3. I’m using Avent natural. I was relieved for a while because it seemed like he already needs to drink more and changing to a bigger teat improved it but I still feel something is off because he won’t finish 4oz at one go and his doesn’t sleep soundly at all. He still seems unsettled. Yesterday I asked my hubby to buy the Pigeon PPPSU bottles. The teat for the yellow-colored bottle suitable for 3months old and above is Y-cut, and Voila! He is back to eating every 4 hrs, 5oz at one go. Hope this helps the other mummies who are worrying here. I know it’s a bit troublesome but just don’t get tired of trying to solve the mystery why the baby is unhappy. 😅 We can all do this together. Fighting! 💪🏻

Hi!!! Y-cut teats- I mean the hole in the nipple of the milk bottle. Normally for Avent they have round cut and it only gets bigger as the baby grows. For Pigeon, they have y-cut nipple for 3 months old.
