Infant Feeding: As long as he is eating, gaining weight and growing, not to worry. Sometimes infants behave differently with regard to eating a particular food item. Six ounces of formula is ok for the time being. Remember not to force eating-, food or formula, they hate this. If too much concern, bring this issue to his pediatrician's attention during 9 months well child visit.
