Please help

My LO will barely eat her bottles. She hasn't ate since 9 last night so it's been over 10 hours. She refuses to eat right now. Only 2 oz. If she doesn't eat the rest of her bottle soon that will be 23 oz in 24 hours. Is that normal? I just don't see how she can go so long and not want a bottle.
EDIT: she is almost 6 months

23 oz. in 24 hours doesn't sound that bad for a six month old, right? I think my son didn't eat much more than that at least.

Quoting Marbles.:" Take her to a doctor"





Well she decided she wanted to refuse it for ten minutes and now she is eating lol. She does this a lot but I was worried she wouldn't eat anymore this time.

Yeah I guess so. I hear so many different things on how much she should eat. She just gets distracted easily. She loves looking at things haha.

Yeah she has a dirty diaper at least once a day, sometimes up to 3 times. She pees right through her diaper at night if she sleeps through. She even gained 3 pounds from 4 months to 5 months. I just over worry I think lol.

Has she had her six month checkup yet? If so, the doctor should've given you a sheet with information about milestones and such. It should also include roughly how much babies that age eat, sleep, etc. (At least everyone I know has had a pediatrician give them these sheets during every checkup.) That's the main thing you'll want to go by. Also know that it varies sooo much from child to child.

Wait, she only has three pee pee diapers a day??? She should be having lots more than that I think. (I'm not positive but three sounds way low for urination!)

Has she started solids yet? Once Zeke started eating solids, his milk intake went down. If she is eating solids, and you are concerned that she's not getting enough formula, then I would cut out the solids for awhile and only give her formula. If she gets hungry enough, she will drink it. Now that Zeke is almost 7 months old, he only drinks 23 oz. in 24 hours AT THE MOST, however, so personally, I wouldn't be that concerned.

If she's not eating solids yet, then I would probably call her pediatrician and take her in for a check, if for nothing else than your own peace of mind. Is she still having BMs and wet diapers?

No she hasn't had her 6 month appointment yet. She will be 6 months on the 22nd. Her appointment is that day.
