So my 7wk old dd was eating about 4-5oz every 4hrs or so,well here lately she is only eating about 15oz a day for some reason.She just wants to chew on the nipple.I have tried different bottles/different nipples.Whats up with this?Should i be concerned?I never had a problem with my other kids when they were that little.

my 11wk old dd has slowed down on her intake too...I wouldn't worry. As long as she is going to the bathroom and everything she should be fine, and she'll let you know when she needs more. GROWTH SPURTS!! Hahaa

I think I read babies should have 2-3 oz per pound of body weight, but that all babies differ in the number of oz they consume.

2/3 oz per lb a day?
