Keep offering: Common that kids have days they seem to like some things more than others formula (or breast milk) is important part of your baby's nutrition keep offering try different temperatures consider trying a nipple that allows faster flow mix by stirring instead of shaking to reduce bubbles in the formula that might give him gas.
