What Causes Fussiness And Less Appetite?

Our 5.5 month old daughter has been receiving prune juice in her bottles at every feeding. Every bottle is about 6-8 oz., sometimes more depending on time of day. She gets a 6 oz bottle at 8 am, a 6 oz bottle and 2 tbsp of baby food at 12pm, a 6-8 oz bottle at 4:30 or 5pm, and a 7-9 oz bottle at 8:30 or 9pm before bedtime. In the past 2 weeks, she has been more fussy during feeding times and won't take more than 4-5oz at times. Should we be giving her more food in addition to the bottle? We don't know what is wrong with her as we are first time parents.

Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
You are giving her more.Total milk + juice requirement at this age is 20 ounce.So If she takes 5oz four times then it is more than enough.Don't give any new food till she completes 6 months.After that you can start rice kanji,soups,ragi kanji,mashed potato
Happy to help you
Best regards
