Keep an eye on it: Assuming your child is gaining weight and length appropriately, it's common for infants liquid intake to be variable. I would pay attention to the amount of solid foods taken in on the days the child doesn't seem to take as much formula. The baby might be just full from cereal and bananas! as always, ask your pediatric care physician if there are any concerns.
