Now I call on all of you who are old hands with babies.
Josh is generally a very good baby, and he eats and sleeps quite well.
I have noticed that in the last week he has started to skip a bottle a day. I am not overly concerned, but I'd rather ask the question.
He has been eating 5oz every 3 hours or so, without skipping a beat, but since Monday this pattern has changed. He now sleeps/plays for much longer in between bottles, this eliminating a bottle in the process.
He goes to bed between 8 - 9pm and then only wakes up at about 2 -3 am for his bottle. In the morning, he has a bottle at abour 7am and from there it is anything between 4 - 6 hours before he has a bottle and then again 4 - 6 hours before he asks for the next one....
Is it normal for babies to start eating/drinking less?
PS: He is 3 1/2 months now, and I haven't given him any solids yet... should I?
