My baby is 6 months. He is formula fed and we shifted him from stage 1 formula to stage 2. He now suddenly isn’t drinking much milk whether bottle or vati and spoon. He hasn’t done this before with stage 1. Can it be the formula stage change?I would like to mention that he is teething as well.

A. hello mam this might be because of teething as during this phase there is loss of appetite and kids don't eat or drink much start massaging the girls with clean cotton cloth wrapped around your finger three to four times a day
