My LO of 5 months used to eat 180ml of formula each feed (5 times) but the last week or so she has been fighting food only eating on average maybe 120ml. It’s kind of worrying me

Totally normal! It’s a developmental leap (leap 5) and eating more or less is normal!

Same here. Feeding takes forever now and she's not interested. Especially weird since she's always been a hangry baby.

So glad to hear my baby isn't the only one, I was starting to worry because she always eats for only 7 min then isn't interested. And if she eats bottle she'll eat anywhere between 1-3 oz before she stops. I didn't know this was a thing I'm a lil relieved now

Update....
Diya used to eat 5oz 5X per day (every 3 hours). Then she eventually starting doing 6oz 5X per day (every 3 hours).
Now she does 6oz 4X in the daytime (every 4 hours) and does a 5th feed as a dream feed around 11pm. Spreading out the feeds like this and incorporating a dream feed has really helped!

hey Amrita, when you do the dream feed, how long does she usually sleep?? I’m thinking I may have to start doing this since she does eat 6oz now and obviously every 3 hours it might be too much for her so I might have to do the same as you

@Natalia yeah i think you're right that its too much for them now
So before her bedtime was anywhere from 8.30 to 10.30. Now i put her to "bed" anywhere from 9 to 10 (following her cues) and then she'll wake up around 11 to eat after about 1 to 2 hours of sleep.
I also started giving her baths on alternate evenings to get her drowsy and kinda build a routine now that she's 6m. Its been going on like this over the last few days with success.
She had reflux and spit up as a newborn and that has also started up again. I started using oval drops again too to help settle her tummy...we're exclusively on formula here.
