LO not eating enough

[soverign]

Hi ladies! I am a little concerned about my LO as he isn't taking enough milk. He is 14 weeks and is still only taking 4 ozs, sometimes he only takes 3. I have got the faster teats on so thats not a problem. He weighs 15.2 lbs so it's not like he isn't gaining weight.

I went out for the day with my friend and her 6 week old the other day and he took 8 ozs! It really worried me that my LO is twice his age and wont even take half as much.

Has anyone else had this problem and do you think I should be taking him to the doctor or something?

Joe was like that I worried too as his sister would have been taking twice as much. But he was fine. Just a slow minimal drinker.

hi hun hannah was never a big lover of milk and i never ever got her to drink more that 5 oz and that was when she was 5/6 months old and she has done fine, as long as lo is puting weight on dont worry

If your LO is putting weight fine, peeing/pooping fine, then dont worry

Just as soon as you notice that he emptied the bottle till the end a couple of times add one oz
