Poor feeding: Poor feeding may be associated with an illness or chronic disease. Continue to offer the formula and check the baby's temperature. Additional testing and an evaluation are indicated. Please see your pediatrician. Avoid dehydration and four ounces of sterile water may be offered in 24 hours.

Not feeding well: Have there been any other changes? Is he wetting and pooping as usual? Has he been fussy or waking up more than usual? If he is not running fever or acting sick, you can watch him a little, give him extra fluids (Pedialyte or other infant hydration fluid), and see if his appetite is better tomorrow. If he seems sick, see his doctor to find out what's causing his decreased appetite.
