Baby not interested in feeding

My girl has always been formula fed, but for the last two days she just doesn’t seem interested. She will take a few mouthfuls and then just turn her head side to side to get away from the teat, or kick her legs about lots. She is having such little milk, should I be worried? She has only had 4.5oz so far today, no matter what I try.

If she has less than half her daily amount of milk id take her to be checked out by a doctor

We've had this a couple of times. If you are worried I would absolutely see a doctor. We have been to both the GP and the Hospital about it because we were super worried. Both times we were advised to offer her smaller amounts of food more often and look out for signs of dehydration. They weighed her and gave us minimum feed requirements to make sure she was hydrated. Both bouts lasted about a week and it was a STRUGGLE to get her to eat. As long as she is fine in herself and isn't showing signs of dehydration she should be okay BUT if you're worried always see a doctor Hope that helps xx

My LO is the same the past 3days. I think ours is to do with teething though. She’ll take a bottle middle night but I. The day it’s really tough. Hoping it passes soon as it’s such a worry.

@Bex she’s exactly the same, she takes bottles in the night no problem, and if she is tired and having a bottle just before a nap, but when she’s wide awake it’s a no go.
