5 mo old not eating

My daughter is not eating much lately. About 3 oz every 3-4 hours. About 5 bottles a day. I took her to the doctor yesterday and she is in the 25th percentile for weight and 75th for height. I try to feed as much as I can but she will not take more than 3 oz at a time. Doctor sad she seems healthy and to just feed her more. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?

You can't really force her to eat if she doesn't want to. Last week Kaden hardly ate at all, now hes eating like his normal self again. (He's 5 1/2 months)
He's been in the 25th percentile for his weight since he was born.
ETA Hes hardly ever ate over a 4oz bottle. But he only has bottles at night.

my daughter only ate 3 ounces forever! she hit 6 months and she hasnt stopped eating since and she is 17 months now! Just keep trying...my daughter would spit up like crazy if she ate more than 3 ounces at a time so I didnt force it too much and then overnight it all changed


good luck momma

Audrey used to eat 6 at a time too. Maybe she's just meant to be skinny. lol.

Quoting Audrey's momma:“ My daughter is not eating much lately. About 3 oz every 3-4 hours. About 5 bottles a day. I took her ... [snip!] ... more than 3 oz at a time. Doctor sad she seems healthy and to just feed her more. I don't know what to do. Any suggestions?”

put the babyfood in her bottle mixed with her formula thatway she gets her nutrients i used to mix in my daughters bottle either the fruit or carrots, squash babyfood in her bottle ,try it.

now she has a fever of 102... I'm guessing from her shots yesterday. poor thing.

My daughter is 5 1/2 months as well and is eating less lately. She used to eat 6oz every 3-4 hours, now it's about 3-4 oz every 3 hours.

According to her pedi, she is "above average" for her height and weight.
