Hun, it can be so confusing, can't it! I wonder if your DS is drinking the same amount as he used to? Recent studies of breastfeeding have shown that babies drink the same amount daily between 1 and 6 months (when solids are introduced), which is contrary to the previous belief that babies drink more as they get older/bigger.

TBH, I think it is very unusual for babies to drink less than they need. Is your DS having at least 5 wet nappies a day? Is he generally alert, settled and healthy? If so, then there is a very good chance that he is getting enough. Another recent study has shown that babies tend to drink a whole bottle whether they need it or not, and that this is a definite link to obesity later on. If your DS is not drinking more than he needs, I would say this is a good thing, as long as he is not dehydrated (which if you answered yes to those questions, he is not).
