| Have u started solids? Maybe hes taking less milk cos hes filling up on solids? If hes not on solids, then maybe its something else like teething. As long as hes well and having lots of wet nappies still then should be fine. You could always phone plunketline for advise. |

Ally_cat - My little one went through the same thing around the same age and I went and got him weighed at Plunket (family centre) and the lady said that it was probably teeth and as long as he was still getting wet nappies it would be ok but just keep an eye on it. Then in a couple of days he bounced in a couple of days and out popped the tooth. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Oh just remember something the Plunket lady said - try feeding outside under a tree apparently they get distracted by the leaves and forget about what they are actually doing. ------------- http://lilypie.com">
