My daughter is going to be 2 months old on Tuesday. For the past 4 days she has been very difficult to feed. She normally eats 4 oz every 3-4 hours. But lately she could fall asleep and stop eating after 1oz. Then eat 4 hours later. But sometimes ( mostly at night ) she will eat all 4oz, then sometimes want a little more. She has had loose stool as well. A few diapers have been front to back, and half way up her back. We just moved into a new place the same day that she started eating weird. I have been told that some babies are "out of sorts" when they move to a new place. It takes time for them to adjust. We also have been switching her formula. She is now on her 3rd kind ( doctors order ) Similaic Alimentum ( to try to help with spitting up ). She was also put on reflux medicine a week or so before we moved.
Why do you think shes been eating weird lately?

Babies go through phases, some days they'll pig-out and eat everything, other days they won't eat hardley anything at all. And as for the blow-outs, thats normal and happens to almost all babies.
As long as your baby is having at least 6 wet diapers/ day try not to worry so much. Your daughter is still adjusting to all the changes around her and may not like the new formula, just keep offerring it to her at the normal times and she'll eaat when she's hungry :)

She Probably Don't Like The Formula. If One Adjust Right Add A Little Bit Of Cereal To Help Her Can Weight And Breast Feed As Well.

BAD ADVICE! Cereal has very little calories so it won't help with gain. Putting it in a bottle is also dangerous.

#2 Great. I gave my first two cereal. After doing research I decided not to use any infant cereal for #3. It is empty calories, devoid of any real nutrition. It does fill them up but that isn't necessarily a good thing.
#3 Breastmilk digests completely in about 90 minutes. That means that in 90 baby gets everything they need from it. Formula is made from cows milk, the human body isn't made to digest cows milk. A baby can't digest cows milk properly until after 12 months so formula takes longer to digest and doesn't digest completely. This is also why formula fed babies spit up more and have more gas(I know my first two did.)
#4 Cereal in the bottle is a choking hazard. It should only be done with the recommendation of a doctor IF baby has reflux.
Not just opinion but fact. I have researched myself perhaps you should as well.
