So my baby is 7 1/2 mths old and all this week she has been very
weird with her bottles, she will drink all of her morning bottle,
then throughout the day it's like she just wants a few ounces out
of all her bottles, so then with her later morning bottle, lunch
bottle and dinner bottle if she doesn't finish ten I will make a
few ounces with cereal and she will eat all the cereal I make her
and have some fruit too, so I'm not concerned if shes getting food
or not, I just don't get why she doesn't want her formula all the
sudden??? She hasn't popped a tooth yet but I know it's coming and
her naps the past two days have actually been longer then normal so
maybe just teeth and a growth spurt?? Is it ok that she's not
taking all of her bottles? I don't recall with the boys at this age
lol, I remember them liking the bottles over the food.

I think that's pretty typical once babies start eating to take less
bottles. My baby (who will be one in exactly one week! Eek!) really
decreased the amount of formula she was taking pretty abruptly once
she started eating food. As long as they are satisfied and still
getting plenty of nutrition from other sources, I think she is
fine.

I'd bet teething. My 8 month old refused bottles with every tooth!
