Baby eating less

My almost 9 weeks old is not eating as well as he used to. I had increased his milk (breast milk) to 4 ounces and he used to finish his bottles. Now he stops at 3 ounces and starts spitting out milk or cry if you try to feed him more! I just don’t understand why he would eat less now that he is older!

Is he eating more frequently throughout the day so he’s still getting the same ounces overall? My 8 week old changes how much he wants all the time. Sometimes he’s super snacky and wants small bottles frequently and other times he wants full bottles. My understanding is that breastmilk changes as they get older to be what they need so they don’t always necessarily need more because they are older.

My little one has done the same and she is almost 8 weeks.

Same with mine! He’s 8 weeks tomorrow!
