Maybe his formula isn't agreeing with his tummy. I would call the doc to be sure.

Good luck

It could be he's having a hard time digesting the formula since you've switched him back and forth recently.

You have his appointment tomorrow? I'd just wait and bring it up there.

Ava did that mon-wed and it was a stomach virus.
He could be getting a cold also.

But brayden also gets food.

Finn's drinking 5oz every 4 hours. I give him 6oz before bed so he doesn't wake up hungry.

very true! I forgot about that.

Brayden eats a lot actually...He gets like 3 bottles a day and eats snacks throughout the day.

He's a pig.

is he always doing this? My son did this and it turned out to be acid reflux because the acid burned his throat and also he cant tolerate milk or soy protein so he is on a special formula. My doctors wouldnt listen to me and many shrug stuff like this off and just say its gas or something like colic, so I had to do my own research and talk to several doctors to get my son the correct treatment. You should research your sons symptoms so you can go into the appt. Prepared.

Wow! How old is your son? From what I remember, my son wouldn't drink 6 ounces until he was about 3 months old. He may have had that much on a few occasions but very rarely. He was around the 25th% for weight if not even a little below, but still very healthy.

However, your son was able to drink 6 ounces and doesn't anymore??? I would listen to what happen to nataliachick's son. That would concern me. Also, it seems you feel something in your gut is not right...Listen to your mother's intuition. Please let us know what happens.

it all depends on the baby......By the time tre was 3 months he was eating 8oz, anything less than that left him still hungry.......Never spit up or anything.
