Baby not feeding
I have a 4 almost 5 month old and recently he’s been so off his bottles sometimes going 5 hours between feeds and still not finishing them. Yesterday he had a feed at 2 and waited till 9 before he would have another then only had 3 ounce. He is normally up 2-3 times in the night but last night he woke once and again wouldn’t take a bottle, I’ve tried him again this morning and still nothing. Is this a normal developmental stage? I’m worried he will be dehydrated or not getting enough nutrients. He normally has 6 ounce every 3 hours and has always been such a good eater so this is not normal for him at all.

How are his wet nappies?x
My daughter is about same age and has dropped in the amount of feeds she takes too. She sleeps through the night and wakes maybe just once for a bottle. Was a bit worried the past few days, but I’m beginning to feel now it could just be a phase which would pass eventually.
