Hello,
This feeding habit for last 3 to 4 days is also normal. Baby has fluctuations on feeding habit during infancy.
If it persists for longer time or you noticed decrease in weight, activity, regression of milestone or any illness following it, then needs to consult doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
